Signs of an Apostle
11 I have become aa fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for bin nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though cI am nothing.
12 aTruly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and bwonders and mighty cdeeds.
13 For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!
Love for the Church
14 aNow for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for bI do not seek yours, but you. cFor the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent afor your souls; though bthe more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
