2Corinthians:12:11-21
mkjv@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become foolish boasting. You compelled me. For I ought to be commended by you. For I lacked nothing of the highest apostles, if even I am nothing.
mkjv@2Corinthians:12:12 @ Truly the signs of the apostle were worked out among you in all patience, in miracles and in wonders, and by works of power.
mkjv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is it in which you were inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong.
mkjv@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Behold, a third [time] I am ready to come to you. And I will not burden you, for I do not seek your things, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children.
mkjv@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls, even if loving you more and more, I am loved [the] less.
mkjv@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But let it be so, I did not burden you. But being crafty, I caught you with bait.
mkjv@2Corinthians:12:17 @ By any whom I have sent to you, did I overreach you by him?
mkjv@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I begged Titus and sent with [him] the brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we] not walk] in the same steps?
mkjv@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Again, do you think we are defending ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ, but [we do] all things, dearly beloved, for your building up.
mkjv@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear, lest somehow coming I might not find you as I wish, and [that] I shall be found by you such as you might not wish; lest somehow [there be] strifes, envyings, angers, contentions, backbitings, whisperings, proud thoughts, tumults;
mkjv@2Corinthians:12:21 @ lest in my coming again my God will humble me with you; and I shall mourn many who have already sinned, and not repenting over the uncleanness, and fornication, and lustfulness which they have practiced.
