2 Corinthians 2:3

---

← 2 Corinthians 2:2	2 Corinthians 2:3 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 2:4 →
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.
