in every way having been troubled, but not having been hemmed in; having been perplexed, but not utterly at a loss;

Now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you grieved to repentance. For you were grieved according to God, so that you might suffer loss by nothing in us.

as it is written, "He gathering much, he had nothing left over; and he gathering little did not have less."

And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls, even if loving you more and more, I am loved the less.
