But, I, call upon God, as a witness, against my own soul, - that, to spare you, not yet, have I come unto Corinth:

Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are, helpers, of your joy, for, by your faith, ye stand.

For I have determined, unto myself, this - not, again, in grief, to come unto you.

For, if, I, grieve you, who then is he that is to gladden me, - save he who is being grieved through me;

And I wrote this very thing - lest, if I came, I should have, grief, from those over whom I had need to rejoice, - having confidence in you all, that, my joy, is the joy, of you all.

For, out of much tribulation and anguish of heart, wrote I unto you, through many tears, - not that ye might be grieved, but that, the love, ye might know, which I have very abundantly unto you.
