2 Corinthians 12:15

Paul's Concern For The Christians At Corinth

¹⁴ Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you. I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you. The children should not provide 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 Just the same, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning.
