10. Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
11. I have been foolish. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I am in no way inferior to these “superapostles,” even though I am nothing.
12. The signs of an apostle were performed among you with all endurance, signs and wonders, and mighty deeds.
13. In what way were you less privileged than the rest of the churches, except that on my part I did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!
14. Now I am ready to come to you this third time. And I will not be a burden, for I want not what is yours, but you. Children ought not to save for their parents, but parents for their children.
