16 But let it he so, I did not burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile. 17 Which one of those whom I sent unto you, did I fleece you through him? 18 I called Titus, and sent the brother along with him: whether did Titus defraud you? did we not walk by the same Spirit? did we not in the same tracks? 19 For a long time you were thinking that I am apologizing to you. We speak before God in Christ; but all things, beloved, are for your edification. 20 For I fear lest, having come, I may not find you as I wish, and may not be found by you as you wish; lest perhaps strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, calumniations, eavesdroppings, inflations, outfallings, are among you; 21 lest, I again having come, my God will humble me before you, and I will mourn over many of those having previously committed sins, and not having repented over the uncleanness and the fornication and debauchery which they have done. 2 Corinthians 12:16-21, Godbey New Testament.
