Wherefore, if I also wrote to you, not for him having been unjust, for him having suffered injustice, but that your care for us might be made manifest to you before God.
Wherefore? because I love you not? God knows.
Besides things outside, my distraction daily, the care of all the churches.
For we are not as the many adulterating the word of God: but as of purity, but as of God, before the face of God speak we in Christ.
For, for this I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, if ye are obedient for all things.
For if I also grieved you in the epistle, I regret not, and if I did regret: for I see that that epistle, if also for a time, grieved you.
(And if any know not to preside over his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
