2 Corinthians 12:15 in Context — 2 Corinthians 12

13 Porque ¿qué hay en que habéis sido menos que las otras iglesias, sino en que yo mismo no os he sido carga? Perdonadme esta injuria.

14 He aquí estoy aparejado para ir á vosotros la tercera vez, y no os seré gravoso; porque no busco vuestras cosas, sino á vosotros: porque no han de atesorar los hijos para los padres, sino los padres para los hijos.

15 Empero yo de muy buena gana despenderé y seré despendido por vuestras almas, aunque amándoos más, sea amado menos.

16 Mas sea así, yo no os he agravado: sino que, como soy astuto, os he tomado por engaño.

17 ¿Acaso os he engañado por alguno de los que he enviado á vosotros?
