For we do not write other things to you, but those things which you read and know, and I hope that you will know them perfectly:

And I wrote this same thing, in order that, having come, I may not have grief over those from whom it behooves me to rejoice; and having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

For out of much tribulation and anguish of heart, I wrote to you through many tears; not in order that you may be grieved, but that you may know the divine love which I have unto you exceedingly.

for unto this also I wrote, in order that I may know your approval, if you are obedient in all things.

You are our letter, having been written in our hearts, known and read of all men,

but until this day when Moses is read, the veil lies upon their heart:

For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we have our right minds, it is for you.

by the word of truth, by the power of God; through the arms of righteousness right and left,

Since then indeed I wrote to you, not on account of the one having done the wrong, nor on account of the one having suffered the wrong, but in order that your zeal, which is in our behalf to you before God, might be made manifest.

For indeed concerning the ministry which is to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you.

If indeed rude in speech, but not in knowledge; but in every thing making manifest unto you in all things.

Therefore being absent I write these things, in order that being present, I may not use severity, according to the power which the Lord has given me for edification, and not for destruction.
