2 Corinthians 12:17-19

New American Standard Bible

^17 (A)Certainly I have not taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you, have I? ¹⁸ I ^(B)urged ^(C)Titus to go, and I sent ^(D)the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not ^[a]conduct ourselves ^[b]in the same ^(E)spirit and walk ^(F)in the same steps?

¹⁹ All this time ^[c]you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, ^(G)it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and ^(H)all for building you up, ^(I)beloved.
