2 Corinthians 2:3-5

21st Century King James Version

³ And I wrote as I did unto you lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from those of whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.

⁴ For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears, not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly for you.

⁵ But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part” that I may not overburden you all.
