drb - 2Corinthians:12:11-21

drb@2Corinthians:12:11 @I am become foolish: you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you: for I have no way come short of them that are above measure apostles, although I be nothing.

drb@2Corinthians:12:12 @Yet the signs of my apostleship have been wrought on you, in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

drb@2Corinthians:12:13 @For what is there that you have had less than the other churches, but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury

drb@2Corinthians:12:14 @Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burthensome unto you. For I seek not the things that are yours, but you. For neither ought the children to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

drb@2Corinthians:12:15 @But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls; although loving you more, I be loved less.

drb@2Corinthians:12:16 @But be it so: I did not burthen you: but being crafty, I caught you by guile.

drb@2Corinthians:12:17 @Did I overreach you by any of them whom I sent to you?

drb@2Corinthians:12:18 @I desired Titus, and I sent with him a brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk with the same spirit? did we not in the same steps?

drb@2Corinthians:12:19 @Of old, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ; but all things, my dearly beloved, for your edification.

drb@2Corinthians:12:20 @For I fear lest perhaps when I come I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as you would not. Lest perhaps contentions, envyings, animosities, dissensions, detractions, whisperings, swellings, seditions, be among you.

drb@2Corinthians:12:21 @Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before, and have not done penance for the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, that they have committed.
