2 Corinthians 12:19-21

19AllG3819 thisG3819 timeG3819 1you have been thinkingG1380 that we are defendingG626 ourselves to you. Actually, 2it is in the sightG2713 of GodG2316 that we have been speakingG2980 in ChristG5547; and 3allG3956 for your upbuildingG3619, 4belovedG27.

20For I amG5399 afraidG5399 that perhapsG4458 5when I comeG2064 I may findG2147 you to be not whatG3634 I wishG2309 and may be foundG2147 by you to be not whatG3634 you wishG2309; that perhapsG4458 there will be 6strifeG2054, jealousyG2205, 7angryG2372 tempersG2372, 8disputesG2052, 9slandersG2636, 10gossipG5587, 11arroganceG5450, 12disturbancesG181;

21I am afraid that when I comeG2064 againG3825 my GodG2316 may humiliateG5013 me beforeG4314 you, and I may mournG3996 over manyG4183 of thoseG3588 who have 13sinnedG4258 in the pastG4258 and not repentedG3340 of the 14impurityG167, 15immoralityG4202 and sensualityG766 whichG3739 they have practicedG4238.
