Second letter to the Corinthians 12:14

[A sign of a true apostle is genuine love for the church. Believers are not exploited and are not seen as potential supporters of his own projects and ideas.]
This is now the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to anyone. I do not seek what is yours, but you yourselves. [Paul compares himself to a parent who loves his children. He has used similar images before when teaching and giving them spiritual milk instead of solid food, see 1 Cor. 3:2.]
Children are not obligated to save for their parents,
but parents for their children.
[In Greco-Roman culture, it was natural for parents to save for their children. As recipients of life and everything their parents gave them, children were expected to repay their parents by giving them love and respect. Ingratitude for gifts received was considered a grave sin.]
