noyes 2Corinthians:12:11-21
noyes@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become a fool; it is ye that compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the very foremost apostles, though I am nothing.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:12 @ Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you with all endurance, by signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is there in which ye were at disadvantage when compared with other churches, except that I myself was not a charge to you? Forgive me this wrong.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Behold, I am ready to come to you this third time, and I will not be a charge to you; for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more I love you, the less I am loved.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But be it so; I at least was not a charge to you; but yet, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I make gain of you by any of those whom I have sent to you?
noyes@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I urged Titus to go to you, and with him I sent the brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?
noyes@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Have ye been thinking this long time that we are defending ourselves to you? It is before God in Christ that we are speaking; but all things, beloved, for your edification.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and lest I too shall be found by you such as ye would not; lest there be wranglings, envying, wraths, rivalries, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;
noyes@2Corinthians:12:21 @ and lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many of those who have sinned already, and did not repent of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, which they committed.
