2 Corinthians 12:14 in Context — 2 Corinthians 12
12 Les preuves de mon apostolat ont éclaté au milieu de vous par une patience à toute épreuve, par des signes, des prodiges et des miracles.
13 En quoi avez-vous été traités moins favorablement que les autres Églises, sinon en ce que je ne vous ai point été à charge? Pardonnez-moi ce tort.
14 Voici, pour la troisième fois je suis prêt à aller chez vous, et je ne vous serai point à charge; car ce ne sont pas vos biens que je cherche, c’est vous-mêmes. Ce n’est pas, en effet, aux enfants à amasser pour leurs parents, mais aux parents pour leurs enfants.
15 Pour moi, je dépenserai très volontiers, et je me dépenserai moi-même pour vos âmes, dussé-je, en vous aimant davantage, être moins aimé de vous.
16 Soit! Je ne vous ai point été à charge; mais, en homme astucieux, je vous ai pris par ruse!
