2 Corinthians 12:20 in Context — 2 Corinthians 12

18 Eu roguei a Tito, e enviei ao irmão com ele; por acaso Tito se aproveitou de vós? Por acaso não andamos nós no mesmo espírito, e nos mesmos passos?

19 Pensais ainda que nós nos desculpamos convosco? Falamos diante de Deus em Cristo; e [fazemos] tudo isto, ó amados, para vossa edificação.

20 Porque eu temo que, quando vier, eu não vos encontre da maneira que eu quero; e vós me encontreis da maneira que não quereis; para que não [haja] brigas, invejas, iras, rivalidades, difamações, fofocas, arrogâncias e tumultos.

21 Para que, quando eu vier outra vez, meu Deus não me humilhe para convosco, e chore por muitos dos que antes pecaram, [e ainda] se não arrependeram da imundícia, e fornicação, e promiscuidade que cometeram.
