2 Corinthians 12:19-21

New International Version

¹⁹Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? We have been speaking in the sight of God^(A) as those in Christ; and everything we do, dear friends,^(B) is for your strengthening.^(C) ²⁰For I am afraid that when I come^(D) I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be.^(E) I fear that there may be discord,^(F) jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition,^(G) slander,^(H) gossip,^(I) arrogance^(J) and disorder.^(K) ²¹I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved^(L) over many who have sinned earlier^(M) and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery^(N) in which they have indulged.

2 Corinthians 12:19-21

New American Standard Bible

¹⁹All 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. ²⁰For 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; ²¹I 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.
