2 Corinthians 12:14-18

14 Here ^afor the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for ^bI seek not what is yours but you. For ^cchildren are not obligated to save up for their parents, but ^dparents for their children. 15 ^eI will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If ^fI love you more, am I to be loved less? 16 But granting that ^gI myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by deceit. 17 Did I take advantage of you ^hthrough any of those whom I sent to you? 18 ⁱI urged Titus to go, and sent ^jthe brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit? Did we not take the same steps?
