But ^(C1)I call God as witness to my soul, that it was ^(C2)to spare you that I did not come again to ^(C3)Corinth.

Not that we ^(C1)domineer over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are ^(C2)standing firm.

But I decided this ^(F1)for my own sake, that I ^(C1)would not come to you in sorrow again.

For if I ^(C1)cause you sorrow, who then will be the one making me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me?

This is the very thing I ^(C1)wrote you, so that ^(C2)when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having ^(C3)confidence in you all that my joy was the joy of you all.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I ^(C1)wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.
