2 Corinthians 2:1-3

Young's Literal Translation

2 And I decided this to myself, not again to come in sorrow unto you,

² for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who is made sorry by me?

³ and I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,
