2 Corinthians 12:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ I haven’t taken advantage of you through any of the people I sent to you, have I? ¹⁸ I strongly encouraged Titus to go to you and sent the brother with him. Titus didn’t take advantage of you, did he? Didn’t we live by the same Spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same footsteps?

¹⁹ Have you been thinking up to now that we are defending ourselves to you? Actually, we are speaking in the sight of God and in Christ. Dear friends, everything is meant to build you up.
