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.
16 But be that as it may, aI did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning!
17 Did I take advantage of you by any of those whom I sent to you?
