2 Corinthians 12:17-21

171Certainly I have not takenG4122 advantageG4122 of you throughG1223 anyG5100 of those whomG3739 I have sentG649 to you, have I? 18I 2urgedG3870 3TitusG5103 to go, and I sentG4882 4the brotherG80 with him. TitusG5103 did not takeG4122 anyG4122 advantageG4122 of you, did he? Did we not 5conductG4043 ourselvesG4043 6in the sameG846 7spiritG4151 and walk 8in the sameG846 stepsG2487?

19AllG3819 thisG3819 timeG3819 9you have been thinkingG1380 that we are defendingG626 ourselves to you. Actually, 10it is in the sightG2713 of GodG2316 that we have been speakingG2980 in ChristG5547; and 11allG3956 for your upbuildingG3619, 12belovedG27. 20For I amG5399 afraidG5399 that perhapsG4458 13when I comeG2064 I may findG2147 you to be not whatG3634 I wishG2309 and may be foundG2147 by you to be not whatG3634 you wishG2309; that perhapsG4458 there will be 14strifeG2054, jealousyG2205, 15angryG2372 tempersG2372, 16disputesG2052, 17slandersG2636, 18gossipG5587, 19arroganceG5450, 20disturbancesG181; 21I am afraid that when I comeG2064 againG3825 my GodG2316 may humiliateG5013 me beforeG4314 you, and I may mournG3996 over manyG4183 of thoseG3588 who have 21sinnedG4258 in the pastG4258 and not repentedG3340 of the 22impurityG167, 23immoralityG4202 and sensualityG766 whichG3739 they have practicedG4238.
