2 Corinthians 2:1-4 Now I decide this with myself, not again to be coming to you in sorrow."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now I decide this with myself, not again to be coming to you in sorrow." ² For if I am making you sorry, who also, is gladdening me, except he who is made sorry by me? ³ And I write this same thing to you, lest, coming, I may have sorrow from those on whom it was binding to be causing me to rejoice; having confidence in you all, ⁴ for my joy is that of you all. For out of much affliction and pressure of heart I write to you, through many tears, not that you may be made sorrowful, but that you may know the love which I have for you more superabundantly."
