11\u00a0<\/a><\/span>I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. 12\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. 13\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be<\/span> that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. 14\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome 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. 15\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. 16\u00a0<\/a><\/span>But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. 17\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you? 18\u00a0<\/a><\/span>I desired Titus, and with him<\/span> I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we<\/span> not in the same steps? 19\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do<\/span> all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. 20\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that<\/span> I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be<\/span> debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: 21\u00a0<\/a><\/span> And<\/span> lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that<\/span> I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. <\/div>
