2Corinthians:12:11-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Boasting ,
I have become foolish .
You compelled me .
For I ought to be commended by you ,
for I lacked nothing of the highest apostles ,
even though I am nothing .
*
Truly the signs of the apostle were worked out among you in all patience ,
in miracles ,
and in wonders ,
and by works of power .
*
For what is it in which you were less than the rest of the churches ,
except that I myself did not burden you ?
Forgive me this wrong .
*
Behold ,
I am ready to come to you a third time .
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 .
*
But I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls ,
even if loving you more and more ,
I am loved the less .
*
But let it be so ,
I did not burden you ;
but being crafty ,
I caught you with bait .
*
By any whom I have sent to you ,
did I overreach you by him ?
*
I begged Titus and sent the brother with him .
Did Titus overreach you ?
Did we not walk in the same spirit ?
Did we not walk in the same steps ?
*
Again ,
do you think we are defending to you ?
We speak before God in Christ ,
but in all things for your building up ,
beloved .
*
For I fear lest somehow coming I not find you as I wish ,
and I be found by you such as you do not wish ;
lest somehow there be strifes ,
envyings ,
angers ,
rivalries ,
evil speakings ,
whisperings ,
proud thoughts ,
disturbances ;
*
that in my coming again ,
my God may not humble me with you ,
and I shall mourn many of those previously sinning and not repenting over the uncleanness and fornication and lustfulness which they have practiced .
