- But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
- For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
- And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
- For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
- But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

- But I determined this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again.
- For if I cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful?
- This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all.
- For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.
- But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degree--in order not to say too much--to all of you.
