2 Corinthians 12:14-17

14HereG2400 1for thisG3778 thirdG5154 timeG5154 I amG2192 readyG2093 to comeG2064 to you, and I 2will not beG2655 aG2655 burdenG2655 toG2655 you; for I 3do not seekG2212 what is yoursG4771, but 4you; for 5childrenG5043 are not responsibleG3784 to saveG2343 upG2343 for their parentsG1118, but 6parentsG1118 for their childrenG5043.

15I will 7mostG2234 gladlyG2234 spendG1159 and be expendedG1550 for your soulsG5590. IfG1487 8I loveG25 you moreG4056, am I to be lovedG25 lessG2269?

16But be that as it may, I 9did not burdenG2599 you myselfG1473; neverthelessG235, deviousG3835 personG3835 that I am, I 10tookG2983 you in by deceitG1388.

17 11Certainly I have not takenG4122 advantageG4122 of you throughG1223 anyG5100 of those whomG3739 I have sentG649 to you, have I?
