2 Corinthians 4:2

2 But we have renounced ^kdisgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice ^{▼▼Greek to walk in} cunning or ^mto tamper with God’s word, but ⁿby the open statement of the truth ^owe would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.

2 Corinthians 12:14-18

14 Here ^ahfor the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for ^aiI seek not what is yours but you. For ^ajchildren are not obligated to save up for their parents, but ^akparents for their children. 15 ^alI will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If ^amI love you more, am I to be loved less? 16 But granting that ^anI 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 ^aothrough any of those whom I sent to you? 18 ^apI urged Titus to go, and sent ^aqthe brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit? Did we not take the same steps?
