2 Corinthians 7:4

A Letter That Caused Sadness

³ I speak not this to condemn you: for I said before that ye are so much in our hearts that we could live and die with you. ⁴ I use much freedom of speech to you, and I boast much of you: I am filled with comfort, and superabound in joy above all our affliction. ⁵ For when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
