rkjnt 2Corinthians:12:11-21
rkjnt@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have made a fool of myself; you have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended by you: for in nothing am I behind these superlative apostles, though I am nothing.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all patience, by signs, and wonders, and miracles.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For in what way were you less favoured than other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Behold, for the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I do not seek what is yours, but you: for the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I to be loved the less?
rkjnt@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But be that as it may, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I take advantage of you by any of those whom I sent to you?
rkjnt@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I urged Titus to go, and with him I sent the brother. Did Titus take advantage of you? did we not act in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?
rkjnt@2Corinthians:12:19 @ All this time have you been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your strengthening.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear that when I come, I shall not find you as I wish, and you shall not find me to be as you wish; lest perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of wrath, rivalries, slander, gossip, conceit, disorder:
rkjnt@2Corinthians:12:21 @ And I fear that, when I come again, my God may humble me before you, and I shall mourn over many who have sinned and have not repented of the impurity and sexual sin and licentiousness which they have committed.
