I wrote to you out of great sorrow and anguish of heart along with many tears not to make you sad but to let you know how much love I have for you.

I have great confidence in you. I am very proud of you. I am very much encouraged. I am overjoyed in all our troubles.

See what great earnestness godly sorrow has produced in you! How ready you are to clear yourselves, how indignant, how alarmed, how full of longing and enthusiasm, how eager to seek justice! In every way you have demonstrated that you are innocent in this matter.

We are trying to avoid any criticism of the way we are administering this great undertaking.

Greet one another with a holy kiss.

All the saints greet you.
