In Context

13 for what is there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this injustice!

14 Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents for the children,

15 and I most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am loved.

16 And be it so, I — I did not burden you, but being crafty, with guile I did take you;

17 any one of those whom I have sent unto you — by him did I take advantage of you?

18 I entreated Titus, and did send with him the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not walk? — did we not in the same steps?
