2 Corinthians 12:14 in Context — 2 Corinthians 12
12 Os sinais do [meu] apostolado foram efetuados entre vós em toda paciência, em sinais, milagres e maravilhas.
13 Afinal, qual foi a coisa em que fostes inferiores às outras igrejas, a não ser em que eu mesmo não vos fui incômodo? Perdoai-me esta injustiça!
14 Eis que estou prestes a vir pela terceira vez até vós, e não vos serei incômodo como um peso. Porque eu não busco o [que é] vosso, mas sim a vós. Porque os filhos não devem guardar bens para os pais, mas sim os pais para os filhos.
15 E eu de muita boa vontade me gastarei, e me deixarei gastar por vossas almas, ainda que quanto mais eu vos amo, menos sou amado.
16 Mas que assim seja, que eu não fui incômodo para convosco. Mas, como eu era astuto, eu vos tomei por engano!
