2 Corinthians 12:18-20
New Matthew Bible
18 I asked Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus defraud you of anything? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in like steps? 19 Again, do you think that we are justifying ourselves to you? We speak in Christ, in the sight of God.
But we do all things, dearly beloveds, for your upbuilding. 20 For I fear lest it come to pass that when I come, I will not find you such as I would like, and you will find me such as I would not want. I fear lest there be found among you debate, envying, anger, rivalry, backbiting, whisperings, swelling, and discord.

New International Version
18 I urged(A) Titus(B) to go to you and I sent our brother(C) with him. Titus did not exploit you, did he? Did we not walk in the same footsteps by the same Spirit?
19 Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? We have been speaking in the sight of God(D) as those in Christ; and everything we do, dear friends,(E) is for your strengthening.(F) 20 For I am afraid that when I come(G) I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be.(H) I fear that there may be discord,(I) jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition,(J) slander,(K) gossip,(L) arrogance(M) and disorder.(N)
