2 Corinthians 12:19-21
New American Standard Bible
19 All this time [a]you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, (A)it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and (B)all for building you up, (C)beloved. 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)angry tempers, (G)selfishness, (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 indecent behavior which they have practiced.

New King James Version
19 (A)Again, [a]do you think that we excuse ourselves to you? (B)We speak before God in Christ. (C)But we do all things, beloved, for your edification. 20 For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that (D)I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults; 21 lest, when I come again, my God (E)will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many (F)who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, (G)fornication, and lewdness which they have practiced.
