2 Corinthians 12:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ So I ·am happy to [most gladly] ·give everything I have for you, even myself [^Lspend and be spent for your lives/souls]. If I love you more, will you love me less?

¹⁶ ·It is clear [Granting that; or Be that as it may] I was not a burden to you, but ·you think I was tricky and lied to catch you [^Lbeing so crafty, I took you by deceit!; ^CPaul is being sarcastic]. ¹⁷ Did I ·cheat [take advantage of] you by using any of the messengers I sent to you? [^CThe Greek question assumes a negative answer.]
