2 Corinthians 12:13-17

For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

I will most gladly spend and be expended for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?

But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself; nevertheless, devious person that I am, I took you in by deceit.

Certainly I have not taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you, have I?
