A Letter That Caused Sadness

6 But God, comforting the humble, comforted us in the arrival of Titus; 7 And not only in his arrival, but also in the comfort which he was comforted in you, announcing to us your anxious desire, your lamentations, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more. 8 For if I also grieved you in the epistle, I regret not, and if I did regret: for I see that that epistle, if also for a time, grieved you.
