12:11 Paul’s concerns about the believers there

11You have forced me to become foolish, because I should have been commended by you all because I’m no less than those ‘super missionaries’ even if I am just ‘nothing’. 12Indeed, I persevered to deliver missionary results among you all, as well as signs, wonders, and miracles. 13In what way were you all treated less than the rest of the assemblies, except that I didn’t load you with any burdens? Forgive me for this mistake.

14Now listen, I’m ready to visit you all for the third time and I won’t be aiming to burden you down because I’m not after what you have, but rather my interest is in you yourselves. The children shouldn’t be saving to support the parents, but the parents should support the children. 15I’m happy to invest everything I have, including all of myself, for the sake of your souls. Am I being loved less the more that I love you all?

16So that’s that. I’m didn’t burden you all, but being crafty by nature, I took you all by trickery. 17Did any of those that I sent to you exploit you all? 18I urged Titos to go there along with another believer. Surely Titos must have exploited you all? No, didn’t we all do the same things as guided by the same spirit.

19Now you’re already supposing that we’re defending ourselves? Actually, we’re speaking as followers of Messiah knowing that God is watching, and dear friends, everything has been with the aim of building you up. 20You see, I’m worried that when I come, I might not find you living how I’d want, and you all might not find me how you’d want. I’m worried that I might find strife and jealousy, anger and selfish ambition, slander and gossip, and conceit and disturbances. 21I’m worried that when I come, God will humble me there with you all, and I might be upset about many who’ve sinned in the past and haven’t repented from the impurity and sexual immorality and self-centred living that they practiced.

11I_have_become foolish, you_all me compelled.
For/Because I was_ought by you_all to_be_being_commended.
For/Because nothing I_being_deficient of_the super ambassadors, if even nothing I_am.
12The indeed signs of_the ambassador was_produced among you_all in all endurance, and in_signs, and wonders, and miracles.
13For/Because what is it that you_all_were_lessened beyond the rest of_the_assemblies, except not/lest that myself I not burdened of_you_all?
Forgive to_me the unrighteousness this.
14Behold, third time this ready I_am_having to_come to you_all, and not I_will_be_burdening, because/for not I_am_seeking what is of_you_all, but you_all, because/for not ought the children for_the parents to_be_storing_up, but the parents for_the children.
15And I most_gladly will_be_spending and will_be_being_spent_out for the souls of_you_all.
If more_abundantly you_all loving, less I_am_being_loved?
16But it_let_be, I not burdened_down you_all, but being crafty by_deceit, you_all I_took.
17Not anyone of_whom I_have_sent_out to you_all, by him I_exploited you_all?
18I_implored Titos and I_sent_with  him the brother.
Surely_not exploited you_all Titos?
Not in_the same spirit we_walked not in_the same steps?
19Already you_all_are_supposing that to_you_all we_are_defending?
In_front_of god in chosen_one/messiah we_are_speaking.
And the things all, beloved, because/for the of_you_all building are.
20For/Because I_am_fearing, lest somehow having_come not such_as I_am_wanting, I_may_find you_all, and_I may_be_found by_you_all such_as not you_all_are_wanting, lest somehow strife, jealousy, rages, selfish_ambitions, slanders, gossips, conceits, disturbances, 21lest again having_come of_me, will_be_humbling me the god of_me to you_all, and I_may_mourn many of_the ones having_previously_sinned, and not having_repented for the impurity, and sexual_immorality, and wantonness, which they_practiced.
