MY JOY IS THE JOY OF YOU ALL

  2 CORINTHIANS 2:3-7

AND I WROTE THIS 

SAME UNTO YOU, 

LEST, WHEN I CAME, 

I SHOULD HAVE SORROW 

FROM THEM OF WHOM 

I OUGHT TO REJOICE; 

HAVING CONFIDENCE 

IN YOU ALL, 

THAT 

MY JOY IS THE JOY OF YOU ALL. 

FOR OUT OF 

MUCH AFFLICTION AND ANGUISH 

OF HEART 

I WROTE UNTO YOU 

WITH 

MANY TEARS; 

NOT THAT YE SHOULD 

BE GRIEVED, 

BUT THAT YE MIGHT KNOW 

THE LOVE WHICH 

I HAVE MORE ABUNDANTLY UNTO YOU. 

 BUT IF ANY HAVE CAUSED GRIEF, 

HE HATH NOT GRIEVED ME, 

BUT IN PART: 

THAT I MAY NOT OVERCHARGE YOU ALL.

SUFFICIENT TO SUCH 

A MAN IS THIS PUNISHMENT, 

WHICH WAS INFLICTED OF MANY. 

so contrariwise ye ought 

rather to forgive him, 

and comfort him,

 lest perhaps 

such a one should 

be swallowed 

up with overmuch sorrow.

 

LOVE
