2 Corinthians 12:15

menu_book Verse in Context

13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

16 Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.

17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
