16 Be it so, indeed; I did not burden you; but being crafty, I caught you by deceit. 17 Did I overreach you by any of those whom I sent to you? 18 I exhorted Titus, and with him sent the brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps? 19 Do you think again that we offer you a defense of ourselves? We speak all these things before God in Christ, beloved, for your edification. 20 For I fear, lest when I come I shall find you not, such as I wish, and I shall be found by you not such as you wish: lest there shall be contentions, envies, excitements, strife, evil speaking, whisperings, party spirit, disorderly conduct: 21 lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn over many of those who have already sinned, and have not repented of the uncleanness and lewdness and wantonness which they have committed. 2 Corinthians 12:16-21, Anderson New Testament.
