A 14a Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you;

  - C 14c For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
- B' 15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
A' 16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
