2 Corinthians 12:14
_ _ the third time — See on Introduction to the first Epistle. His second visit was probably a short one (1 Corinthians 16:7), and attended with humiliation through the scandalous conduct of some of his converts (compare 2 Corinthians 12:21; 2 Corinthians 2:1). It was probably paid during his three years’ sojourn at Ephesus, from which he could pass so readily by sea to Corinth (compare 2 Corinthians 1:15, 2 Corinthians 1:16; 2 Corinthians 13:1, 2 Corinthians 13:2). The context here implies nothing of a third preparation to come; but, “I am coming, and the third time, and will not burden you this time any more than I did at my two previous visits” [Alford].
_ _ not yours, but you — (Philippians 4:17).
_ _ children ... parents — Paul was their spiritual father (1 Corinthians 4:14, 1 Corinthians 4:15). He does not, therefore, seek earthly treasure from them, but lays up the best treasure (namely, spiritual) “for their souls” (2 Corinthians 12:15). |
2 Corinthians 12:14
The third time — Having been disappointed twice. I seek not yours — Your goods. But you — Your souls. |

2 Corinthians 1:15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;

1 Corinthians 4:19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
1 Corinthians 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
1 Corinthians 16:5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
