2 Corinthians 7:4

A Letter That Caused Sadness

³ I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die and live with you. ⁴ Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my boasting of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation. ⁵ For, when we were come into Macedonia, our body had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
