2 Corinthians 12:11-18

11I amG1510 becomeG1096 foolishG878: ye compelledG315 me; for I oughtG3784 to have beenG1510 commendedG4921 of you: for in nothing wasG1510 I behind the very chiefest apostlesG652, though I amG1510 nothing. 12Truly the signsG4592 of an apostleG652 were wrought among you in all patience, by signsG4592 and wondersG5059 and mightyG1411 works. 13For what isG1510 there wherein ye wereG1510 made inferior to the restG3062 of the churchesG1577, except it beG1510 that I myself wasG1510 not a burdenG2655 to you? forgiveG5483 me this wrong.

14BeholdG2400, this is the thirdG5154 timeG5154 I am readyG2093 to comeG2064 to you; and I will not be a burdenG2655 to you: for I seekG2212 not yours, but you: for the childrenG5043 oughtG3784 not to lay up for the parentsG1118, but the parentsG1118 for the childrenG5043. 15And I will mostG5228 gladlyG2236 spendG1159 and be spentG1159 for your soulsG5590. If I loveG25 you more abundantly, am I lovedG25 the less? 16But beG1510 it so, I did not myself burden you; but, beingG1510 crafty, I caught you with guile. 17Did I take advantage of you by any oneG5100 of them whom I have sentG649 unto you? 18I exhortedG3870 TitusG5103, and I sent the brotherG80 with him. Did TitusG5103 take any advantage of you? walkedG4043 we not in the sameG846 spiritG4151? walkedG4043 we not in the sameG846 stepsG2487?
