That I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart;

But if any one has caused grief, he has grieved, not me only, but, in some measure not to speak harshly all of you.

and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you when he told us of your strong affection, your grief, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more.

Let each one give, as he purposes in his heart; not with grief, nor from necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver.

The deacons, likewise, must be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not makers of money by base means,

Their wives likewise must be grave, not slanderers, watchful, faithful in all things.

that the aged men be vigilant, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

But no chastisement seems, at the time, to be a matter of joy, but of grief: yet afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are exercised by it.

Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive: for they watch for your souls, as those who must give an account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for that would be fatal to you.
