LOVE 2 Corinthians 2:3-4

I wrote as I did, so that when I came I would not be distressed by those who should have made me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would all share my joy. For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.

I wrote as I did
2 Corinthians 2:9 Another reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.
2 Corinthians 7:8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter I do not regret it. Though I did regret it--I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while--. . .
2 Corinthians 7:12 So even though I wrote to you, it was neither on account of the one who did the wrong nor on account of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are.

so that when I came I would not be distressed
2 Corinthians 12:21 I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.

I had confidence in all of you
