rsv 2Corinthians:2:1-4
rsv@2Corinthians:2:1 @ For I made up my mind not to make you another painful visit.
rsv@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?
rsv@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.
rsv@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.
