NSB(i)
1 I decided this for myself that I would not come again to you with sorrow.
2 For if I make you sad, who then makes me glad? It is the same one whom I made sad.
3 I wrote this very thing that when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice. I have confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears. Not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have more abundantly for you.
