2 CORINTHIANS 12:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.”
Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children — Paul's *paternal* relationship to the Corinthians is now *explicit*: *hoi tékna* (children) do not save (*thēsaurizō*) for *parents* (*goneís*); rather, *parents* save for *children*. His *love* transcends *economic reciprocity*.
