2 Corinthians 12:15

Paul's Concern For The Christians At Corinth

¹⁴ Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you, for I seek not your things, but you; for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. ¹⁵ I will most gladly spend and be expended for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? ¹⁶ But be it so, I did not burden you; nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
