Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. |
Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. |
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. |

Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. |
Now for the third time I am ready to come to [visit] you. And I will not burden you [financially], for it is not yours that I want but you; for children are not duty bound to lay up store for their parents, but parents for their children. |
Look! This is a third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I am not seeking your possessions but you. For the children are under no moral obligation to be accumulating material resources for the parents, but the parents for the children. |

Now I am all ready to visit you for the third time, and I am still not going to be a burden to you. It is you I want – not your money. Children don’t have to put by their savings for their parents; parents do that for their children. |
It is now the third time that I have been ready to come to see you, and I will never ask you for financial support, for it is not your money but you yourselves that I want; for children are not by duty bound to lay up money for their parents, but parents for their children. |
