15. So I will gladly give all that I have and all that I am. Will you love me less for loving you too much?
16. You agree that I wasn't a burden to you. Perhaps that's because I was trying to catch you off guard and trick you.
17. Were you cheated by any of those I sent to you?

19. Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? Actually, we have been speaking to God as followers of Christ. But, my friends, we did it all for your good.
20. I am afraid that when I come, we won't be pleased with each other. I fear that some of you may be arguing or jealous or angry or selfish or gossiping or insulting each other. I even fear that you may be proud and acting like a mob.
