2 Corinthians 12:16
2 Corinthians 12:16 Amplified Bible (AMP)
But be that as it may, I did not burden you [with my support]. But [some say that] I was sly and took you by trickery.
2 Corinthians 12:16-18 The Message (MSG)
And why is it that I keep coming across these whiffs of gossip about how my self-support was a front behind which I worked an elaborate scam? Where’s the evidence? Did I cheat or trick you through anyone I sent? I asked Titus to visit, and sent some brothers along. Did they swindle you out of anything? And haven’t we always been just as aboveboard, just as honest?
