2 Corinthians 12:14

Context

[12:6]  1 tn Or “speaking.”

[12:6]  2 tn Or “may think of.”

[12:14]  3 tn Grk “children ought not,” but this might give the impression that children are not supposed to support sick or aging parents in need of help. That is not what Paul is saying. His point is that children should not have to pay their parent’s way.
