2 Corinthians 1:23-2:4
Wycliffe Bible
23 For I call God to witness against my soul [Forsooth I in-call God witness into my soul], that I sparing you came not over to Corinth;
24 not that we be lords of your faith [not for we be lords of your faith], but we be helpers of your joy; for through belief ye stand.
2 And I ordained this [same] thing at me, that I should not come again in heaviness to you [in sorrow to you].
2 For if I make you sorry, who is he that gladdeth me, but he that is sorrowful of me?
3 And this same thing I wrote to you, that when I come, I have not sorrow on sorrow, of the which it behooved me to have joy. And I trust in you all, that my joy is of all you[a].
4 For of much tribulation and anguish of heart I wrote to you by many tears, not that ye be sorry, but that ye know what charity I have more plenteously in you.
