But I gladly the expenses will spend, and also myself will I give for the sake of your souls: though, while the more I love you, you the less love me.

DO you again consider that we apologize to you ? Before Aloha in the Meshiha do we speak; and all, my beloved, for the sake of your up-building.

For I fear lest, when I come to you, I should not find you as I wish, but should find you what you would not wish: lest there be contention and envy, and wrath and angry talk, and accusations and murmurings, and pompousness and agitation:

-for though he was crucified in weakness, yet he liveth with the power of Aloha:-so also we are weak with you, but we live with him through the power of Aloha which is among you.
