2 Corinthians 12:14-17

14Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

15So I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. If I love you more, will you love me less?

16Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!

17Did I exploit you through any of the men I sent to you?
