2 Corinthians 12:19-21
Legacy Standard Bible
19 All this time [a]you think we are defending ourselves to you. We speak in Christ (A)in the sight of God. (B)And all these things, (C)beloved, are for your building up. 20 For I am afraid that perhaps (D)when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be (E)strife, jealousy, (F)outbursts of anger, (G)selfish ambition, (H)slanders, (I)gossip, (J)arrogance, (K)disturbances. 21 I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have (L)sinned in the past and not repented of the (M)impurity, sexual immorality, and sensuality which they have practiced.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 You have thought all along that we were defending ourselves to you.[a] No, in the sight of God we are speaking in Christ, and everything, dear friends, is for building you up.(A) 20 For I fear that perhaps when I come I will not find you to be what I want, and I may not be found by you to be what you want;[b] there may be quarreling,(B) jealousy,(C) outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions,(D) slander,(E) gossip, arrogance, and disorder.(F) 21 I fear that when I come my God will again[c] humiliate me in your presence, and I will grieve for many who sinned before and have not repented(G) of the moral impurity, sexual immorality,(H) and promiscuity(I) they practiced.
