2 Corinthians 2:3
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.

2 Corinthians 2:3
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.
--------------------
2 Corinthians 2:1
But it was my decision for myself, not to come again to you with sorrow.
2 Corinthians 2:2
For if I give you sorrow, who then will make me glad, but he who is made sad by me?
2 Corinthians 1:23
But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.
2 Corinthians 1:24
Not that we have authority over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy: for it is faith which is your support.
1 Corinthians 4:21
What is your desire? is my coming to be with punishment, or is it to be in love and a gentle spirit?
2 Corinthians 1:15
And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;
2 Corinthians 1:12
For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.
2 Corinthians 10:2
Yes, I make my request to you, so that when I am with you I may not have to make use of the authority which may be needed against some to whom we seem to be walking after the flesh.
2 Corinthians 12:18
I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus make any profit out of you? were we not guided by the same Spirit, in the same ways?
2 Corinthians 13:2
I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;
1 Corinthians 4:19
But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.
1 Corinthians 16:7
For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.
2 Corinthians 10:6
Being ready to give punishment to whatever is against his authority, after you have made it clear that you are completely under his control.
2 Corinthians 10:8
For though I might take pride in our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction), it will not be a cause of shame to me:
2 Corinthians 10:9
That I may not seem to have the desire of causing you fear by my letters.
-----
2 Corinthians 2:4
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.
2 Corinthians 2:5
But if anyone has been a cause of sorrow, he has been so, not to me only, but in some measure to all of you (I say this that I may not be over-hard on you).
2 Corinthians 2:6
Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him;
2 Corinthians 2:7
So that now, on the other hand, it is right for him to have forgiveness and comfort from you, for fear that his sorrow may be over-great.
2 Corinthians 7:8
For though my letter gave you pain, I have no regret for it now, though I had before; for I see that the letter gave you pain, but only for a time.
2 Corinthians 7:9
Now I am glad, not that you had sorrow, but that your sorrow was the cause of a change of heart; for yours was a holy sorrow so that you might undergo no loss by us in anything.
2 Corinthians 7:10
For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death.
2 Corinthians 7:11
For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.
2 Corinthians 7:12
So though I sent you a letter, it was not only because of the man who did the wrong, or because of him to whom the wrong was done, but so that your true care for us might be made clear in the eyes of God.
2 Corinthians 2:9
And for the same reason I sent you a letter so that I might be certain of your desire to do my orders in all things.
John 21:17
He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.
2 Corinthians 2:11
So that Satan may not get the better of us: for we are not without knowledge of his designs.
Revelation 3:19
To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.

I am certain about you in the Lord, that you will be of no other mind; but he who is troubling you will have his punishment, whoever he is.
Philemon 1:21
Being certain that you will do my desire, I am writing to you, in the knowledge that you will do even more than I say.
2 Corinthians 7:16
It gives me great joy to see you answering to my good opinion of you in every way.
2 Corinthians 8:22
And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.
2 Thessalonians 3:4
And we have faith in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things about which we give you orders.
-----
2 Corinthians 12:19
It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.
2 Corinthians 12:20
For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;
2 Corinthians 12:21
And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.
2 Corinthians 13:10
For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.
Philippians 1:6
For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:
Galatians 4:11
I am in fear of you, that I may have been working for you to no purpose.
Galatians 4:20
Truly my desire is to be present with you now, using a changed voice; for I am troubled about you.
-----
2 Corinthians 7:3
It is not with the purpose of judging you that I say this: for I have said before that you are in our hearts for life and death together.
2 Corinthians 7:4
My words to you are without fear, I am full of pride on account of you: I have great comfort and joy in all our troubles.
2 Corinthians 7:5
For even when we had come into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; there were fightings outside and fears inside.
2 Corinthians 7:6
But God who gives comfort to the poor in spirit gave us comfort by the coming of Titus;
2 Corinthians 7:7
And not by his coming only, but by the comfort which he had in you, while he gave us word of your desire, your sorrow, your care for me; so that I was still more glad.
2 Corinthians 7:13
So we have been comforted: and we had the greater joy in our comfort because of the joy of Titus, for his spirit had been made glad by you all.
Philippians 2:28
I have sent him, then, the more gladly, so that when you see him again, you may be happy and I may have the less sorrow.
1 Thessalonians 2:19
For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?
1 Thessalonians 2:20
For you are our glory and our joy.
1 Thessalonians 3:7
For this cause, brothers, in all our trouble and grief we were comforted about you because of your faith;
1 Thessalonians 3:8
For it is life to us if you keep your faith in the Lord unchanged.
1 Thessalonians 3:9
For how great is the praise which we give to God for you, and how great the joy with which we are glad because of you before our God;
Acts 11:23
Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:
Romans 1:12
That is to say, that all of us may be comforted together by the faith which is in you and in me.
Philippians 2:17
And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:
-----
1 Corinthians 5:3
For I myself, being present in spirit though not in body, have come to a decision about him who has done this thing;
1 Corinthians 5:4
In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you have come together with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
1 Corinthians 5:5
That this man is to be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may have forgiveness in the day of the Lord Jesus.
1 Corinthians 5:8
Let us then keep the feast, not with old leaven, and not with the leaven of evil thoughts and acts, but with the unleavened bread of true thoughts and right feelings.
1 Corinthians 5:9
In my letter I said to you that you were not to keep company with those who go after the desires of the flesh;
1 Corinthians 5:13
As for those who are outside, God is their judge. So put away the evil man from among you.
-----
2 Corinthians 1:14
Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has given us good news of your faith and love, and that you have happy memories of us, desiring greatly to see us, even as we do to see you;
1 Thessalonians 3:10
Night and day requesting God again and again that we may see your face and make your faith complete.
2 Timothy 1:4
Desiring to see you, keeping in my memory your weeping, so that I may be full of joy;
Philemon 1:20
So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.
2 John 1:4
It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.
