MKJV(i)
1 But I determined this within myself, that I would not come to you again in grief.
2 For if I make you sorry, who then is he who makes me glad, but the same who has been made sorry by me?
3 And I wrote this to you, lest when I came I should have sorrow from the ones of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
4 For out of much trouble and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have more abundantly to you.
5 But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, except in part; so that I not overbear all of you.
6 This punishment by the majority is enough for such a one;
7 so that, on the contrary, you should rather forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overwhelming sorrow.
