The Webster Bible WBT

1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same who is made sorry by me?

3 And I wrote this same to you, lest, coming I should have sorrow from them by whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is [the joy] of you all.

4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly to you.

5 But if any hath caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

6 Sufficient to such a man [is] this punishment, which [was inflicted] by many.
