2 Corinthians 12:16-21
Be that as it mayG1510, IG1473 was not a burdenG3756G2599 to youG4771; butG235 craftyG3835 as I amG5225, I caughtG2983 youG4771 by trickeryG1388. 17Did I exploitG3361G4122 youG4771 byG1223 anyoneG5100 I sentG649 youG4771? 18I urgedG3870 TitusG5103 to visit you, andG2532 I sentG4882 our brotherG80 with him. Did TitusG5103 exploitG4122 youG4771 in any way? Did we not walkG3756G4043 in theG3588 sameG846 SpiritG4151 and follow in theG3588 sameG846 footstepsG2487?1
19Have you been thinkingG1380 all alongG3819 thatG3754 we were making a defenseG626 to youG4771? We speakG2980 beforeG2713 GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 allG3956 ofG3588 this, belovedG27, is to build you upG4771G3588G3619. 20ForG1063 I am afraidG5399 that when I comeG2064, I may not findG4459G3756G2147 youG4771 asG3634 I wishG2309, andG2504 youG4771 may not find meG2147G3756 asG3634 you wishG2309. I fear that there may beG4459 quarrelingG2054, jealousyG2205, rageG2372, rivalryG2052, slanderG2636, gossipG5587, arroganceG5450, and disorderG181. 21I am afraid that when I comeG1473G2064 againG3825, myG1473 GodG2316 will humbleG5013 meG1473 beforeG4314 youG4771, andG2532 I will be grieved overG3996 manyG4183 whoG3588 have sinned earlierG4258 andG2532 have not repentedG3361G3340 ofG1909 their acts ofG4238 impurityG167, sexual immoralityG4202, andG2532 debaucheryG766.
