Planning the Third Visit

14

See, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will not be a burden, because I am not seeking your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

15

And for the sake of your souls, I will most gladly spend my money and myself. If I love you more, will you love me less?

16

Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you; but crafty as I am, I caught you by trickery.

17

Did I exploit you by anyone I sent you?

18

I urged Titus to visit you, and I sent our brother with him. Did Titus exploit you in any way? Did we not walk in the same Spirit and follow in the same footsteps?

19

Have you been thinking all along that we were making a defense to you? We speak before God in Christ, and all of this, beloved, is to build you up.
