For if I cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful?

This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all.

Make room for us in your hearts; we wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we took advantage of no one.

Now, brethren, we wish to make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia,

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;
