2 Corinthians 2:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ And I wrote this same thing to you, lest when I come, I should not be grieved by those in whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.

⁴ For in great affliction, and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears; not that you should be made sorry, but that you might perceive the love which I have especially for you.

⁵ And if any have caused grief, the same has not grieved me, but partly (lest I overstate it) you all.
