2 Corinthians 2:1-4
1But I decidedG2919 thisG3778 1for my ownG1683 sakeG1683, that I 2would not comeG2064 to you in sorrowG3077 againG3825. 2For ifG1487 I 3causeG3076 you sorrowG3076, whoG5101 thenG2532 will be the one makingG2165 me gladG2165 but the one who is madeG3076 sorrowfulG3076 by me? 3ThisG3778 is the veryG846 thingG846 I 4wroteG1125 you, soG2443 thatG2443 5when I cameG2064, I would not haveG2192 sorrowG3077 from those whoG3739 oughtG1163 to makeG5463 me rejoiceG5463; havingG3982 6confidenceG3982 in you allG3956 that my joyG5479 was the joy of you allG3956. 4For out of muchG4183 afflictionG2347 and anguishG4928 of heartG2588 I 7wroteG1125 to you with manyG4183 tearsG1144; not soG2443 thatG2443 you would be madeG3076 sorrowfulG3076, but that you might knowG1097 the loveG26 whichG3739 I haveG2192 especiallyG4056 for you.
