2 Corinthians 2:4
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
Nam ex multa tribulatione et angustia cordis scripsi vobis per multas lacrimas : non ut contristemini, sed ut sciatis, quam caritatem habeam abundantius in vobis.
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.
