2 Corinthians 2:1-4 ▼

1 For I decided this within myself, not to come to you? again in grief.

2 For if I grieve you?, then who is gladdening me except the one being grieved by me?

3 And I wrote this same thing so that, having come, I might not have grief from those for whom it was necessary for me to rejoice, having been confident in you? all, that my joy is of all of you?.

4 For out of much tribulation and anguish of heart, I wrote to you? through many tears, not that you? might be grieved, but that you? might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you?.
