2 Corinthians 10:3For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.2 Corinthians 10:14We are not overstepping our bounds, as if we had not come to you. Indeed, we were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.2 Corinthians 10:15Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others.

For when I am weak, then I am strong.2 Corinthians 12:14See, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will not be a burden, because I am not seeking your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.2 Corinthians 12:15And for the sake of your souls, I will most gladly spend my money and myself.
