2 Corinthians 12:14-16

21st Century King James Version

¹⁴ Behold, for 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 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you, though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

¹⁶ But be it so, I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
