2 Corinthians 12:15

Paul's Concern For The Christians At Corinth

¹⁴ This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children. ¹⁵ And I will gladly give all I have for your souls. If I have the more love for you, am I to be loved the less? ¹⁶ But let it be so, that I was not a trouble to you myself; but (someone may say) being false, I took you with deceit.

Do You Love Me

Philippians 2:17

And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:

2 Corinthians 1:6

But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which takes effect through your quiet undergoing of the same troubles which we undergo:

Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;

2 Timothy 2:10

But I undergo all things for the saints, so that they may have salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

2 Samuel 18:33

Then the king was much moved, and went up into the room over the door, weeping, and saying, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! if only my life might have been given for yours, O Absalom, my son, my son!

John 10:10-11

The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.

1 Corinthians 4:8-18

For even now you are full, even now you have wealth, you have been made kings without us: truly, I would be glad if you were kings, so that we might be kings with you.

2 Corinthians 1:14

Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

2 Corinthians 2:3

And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

2 Corinthians 6:12-13

It is not our feelings to you which are narrow, but yours to us.

It is not with the purpose of judging you that I say this: for I have said before that you are in our hearts for life and death together.

And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.

2 Corinthians 12:14

This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.

Galatians 4:10

You keep days, and months, and fixed times, and years.

Hebrews 13:17

Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.
