For out of much trouble and pain of heart and much weeping I sent my letter to you; not to give you sorrow, but so that you might see how great is the love which I have to you.

Διοτι εκ πολλης θλιψεως και στενοχωριας καρδιας εγραψα προς εσας μετα πολλων δακρυων, ουχι δια να λυπηθητε, αλλα δια να γνωρισητε την αγαπην, ην εχω περισσοτερως εις εσας.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
