2 Corinthians 2:4-7 You see, I write (or: wrote) to you from out of the midst of much pressure (squeezing; affliction; tribulation; oppression) and compression (or: confinement) of heart – through many tears – not so that you may be made anxious or sad, but rather to the end that you can (or: may; should; would) experience intimate knowledge and personal insight of the love (the participating, unambiguous, accepting drive toward reunion) which I progressively possess and superabundantly hold being directed into the midst of you folks.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ You see, I write (or: wrote) to you from out of the midst of much pressure (squeezing; affliction; tribulation; oppression) and compression (or: confinement) of heart – through many tears – not so that you may be made anxious or sad, but rather to the end that you can (or: may; should; would) experience intimate knowledge and personal insight of the love (the participating, unambiguous, accepting drive toward reunion) which I progressively possess and superabundantly hold [being directed] into the midst of you folks. ⁵ Now if anyone has been the cause anxiety, pain, distress, sorrow or sadness, he has not upset or distressed me, but rather all of you, to an extent – so that I should not continue to be adding weight upon [you folks] (or: but to the contrary, in part – not that I would now belabor [the point] – [it has been done to] you all). ⁶ This assessment (or: added evaluation) – the one [held; given] by the majority – [should be] sufficient (or: enough) for (or: with; to) such a person, ⁷ so that in its place – and to a greater degree – you folks are to extend grace and to perform as paracletes (call him alongside to give aid, relief, encouragement, comfort and consolation), lest somehow such a person may be swallowed up by more excessive anxiety (or: drunk down in, and to, more abundant sorrow, grief, pain, distress and sadness).
