2 Corinthians 2:3

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.

It is with weighty meaning that I do not come to you, because I feel not hate or aversion but rather exceeding love.
