And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

Και εγραψα προς εσας τουτο αυτο, ωστε οταν ελθω να μη εχω λυπην απ' εκεινων, αφ' ων επρεπε να εχω χαραν, εχων πεποιθησιν εις παντας υμας οτι η χαρα μου ειναι παντων υμων.

And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
