For the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children. ¹⁵ I, indeed, will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. ¹⁶ Be it so, indeed; I did not burden you; but being crafty, I caught you by deceit.
