Ἰδοὺ τρίτον ⸀τοῦτο ἑτοίμως ἔχω ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ οὐ ⸀καταναρκήσω· οὐ γὰρ ζητῶ τὰ ὑμῶν ἀλλὰ ὑμᾶς, οὐ γὰρ ὀφείλει τὰ τέκνα τοῖς γονεῦσιν θησαυρίζειν, ἀλλὰ οἱ γονεῖς τοῖς τέκνοις.

Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be burdensome; for I do not seek what is yours but you, for children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
