2 Corinthians 2:4
Patriarchal Greek New Testament (1904) · Berean Standard Bible
ἐκ γὰρ πολλῆς θλίψεως καὶ συνοχῆς καρδίας ἔγραψα ὑμῖν διὰ πολλῶν δακρύων, οὐχ ἵνα λυπηθῆτε, ἀλλὰ τὴν ἀγάπην ἵνα γνῶτε ἣν ἔχω περισσοτέρως εἰς ὑμᾶς.
For through many tears I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart, not to grieve you but to let you know how much I love you.
