NASB | 2 Corinthians 12:14 ¶ Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 12:14 ¶ Now for the third time I am ready to visit you. I will not burden you [financially], because I do not want what is yours [not your money or your possessions], but you. For children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. |
Bible Question: what scripture says, 'what a parent does in moderation our children will do in excess'? |
Bible Answer: Hi Charlesandde, I believe this is an old proverb, however I do not believe it is scriptural. In the King James Version, at least, the two words 'parents and children' do not appear together in the same verse until the New Testament. The maxim does seem to contain a great deal of truth, doesn't it? Bless you, me |
