2 Korintus 2:3-4

2:3 And I wrote this very thing to you, ¹  so that when I came ²  I would not have sadness from those who ought to make me rejoice, since I am confident in you all that my joy would be yours. 2:4 For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not to make you sad, but to let you know the love that I have especially for you. ³ 

[2:3]  ¹ tn The words “to you” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[2:3]  ² sn So that when I came. Regarding this still future visit by Paul, see 2 Cor 12:14; 13:1.

[2:4]  ³ tn Or “the love that I have in great measure for you.”
