2 Corinthians 2:1-4

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.
