For what is it wherein ye were inferiors unto other congregations? except it be therein that I was not grievous unto you. Forgive me this wrong done unto you.
If other be part takers of this power over you? wherefore are not we rather. ¶ Nevertheless we have not used this power: but suffer all things lest we should hinder the gospell of Christ.
Behold now the third time I am ready to come unto you, neither will I be grievous unto you. For I seek not yours but you. Also the children ought not to lay up for the fathers and mothers: but the fathers and mothers for the children.
