dby - 2Corinthians:12:11-21

dby@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become a fool; ye have compelled me; for I ought to have been commended by you; for I have been nothing behind those who were in surpassing degree apostles, if also I am nothing.

dby@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs indeed of the apostle were wrought among you in all endurance, signs, and wonders, and works of power.

dby@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For in what is it that ye have been inferior to the other assemblies, unless that I myself have not been in laziness a charge upon you? Forgive me this injury.

dby@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Behold, this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be in laziness a charge; for I do not seek yours, but you; for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

dby@2Corinthians:12:15 @ Now I shall most gladly spend and be utterly spent for your souls, if even in abundantly loving you I should be less loved.

dby@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But be it so. I did not burden you, but being crafty I took you by guile.

dby@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I make gain of you by any of those whom I have sent to you?

dby@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I begged Titus, and sent the brother with [him]: did Titus at all make gain of you? have we not walked in the same spirit? [have we] not in the same steps?

dby@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Ye have long been supposing that we excuse ourselves to you: we speak before God in Christ; and all things, beloved, for your building up.

dby@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear lest perhaps coming I find you not such as I wish, and that I be found by you such as ye do not wish: lest [there might be] strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, evil speakings, whisperings, puffings up, disturbances;

dby@2Corinthians:12:21 @ lest my God should humble me as to you when I come again, and that I shall grieve over many of those who have sinned before, and have not repented as to the uncleanness and fornication and licentiousness which they have practised.
