Reaffirm Your Love

1 But I determined this (a)for my own sake, that I (A)would not come to you in sorrow again. 2 For if I (B)cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful? 3 This is the very thing I (C)wrote you, so that (D)when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having (E)confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all. 4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I (F)wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.
