2 Corinthians 12:14-18

14Here 1for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I 2will not be a burden to you; for I 3do not seek what is yours, but 4you; for 5children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but 6parents for their children. 15I will 7most gladly spend and be expended for your souls. If 8I love you more, am I to be loved less? 16But be that as it may, I 9did not burden you myself; nevertheless, devious person that I am, I 10took you in by deceit. 17 11Certainly I have not taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you, have I? 18I 12urged 13Titus to go, and I sent 14the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not 15conduct ourselves 16in the same 17spirit and walk 18in the same steps?
