2 Corinthians 12:17-19

New International Version

¹⁷ Did I exploit you through any of the men I sent to you? 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)
