‏ 2 Corinthians 12:14

The third time I am ready to come to you. Then he had been there twice before; once when he founded the church; once while preaching at Ephesus, of which visit Acts gives no account.

See PNT 2Co 2:1.

And I will not be burdensome to you. As before, he will maintain himself this third time.

For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, etc. As parents do with children, so will he, their spiritual father, do. He does not ask them to provide for him, while he feeds them the bread of life.
