Therefore I absent write these things, that I present do not harder, by the power, which the Lord gave to me into edification, and not into your destruction.
For I pray you, that lest I present be not bold [or not hardy] by the trust, in which I am guessed to be bold [or hardy] into some, that deem us, as if we wander after the flesh.
I said before, and say before, as present twice, and now absent, to them that before have sinned, and to all others; for if I come again, I shall not spare.
And this same thing I wrote to you, that when I come, I have not sorrow on sorrow, of the which it behooved me to have joy. And I trust in you all, that my joy is of all you [or of you all].
