2 Corinthians 2:4-7 For out of much affliction and agony of heart I wrote to you, through many tears, not that you be grieved, but that you know the love which I have more abundantly toward you.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ For out of much affliction and agony of heart I wrote to you, through many tears, not that you be grieved, but that you know the love which I have more abundantly toward you. ⁵ But if anyone has grieved, he has not grieved me, but in part, that I not overbear all of you. ⁶ This censure by the majority is enough for such a one. ⁷ So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive and comfort such a one, that he not be swallowed up by the overflowing grief.
