2 Corinthians 12:11-13

Concern for the Corinthian Church

¹¹ _p I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was _q not at all inferior to these super-apostles, _r even though I am nothing. ¹² _s The signs of a true apostle were performed among you _t with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works. ¹³ For in what were you less favored than the rest of the churches, except that _u I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!
