\verseNumber{3}And|strong="G2532" I wrote|strong="G1125" this|strong="G5124" same|strong="G0846" unto you|strong="G5213", lest|strong="G2443", when I came|strong="G2064", I should have|strong="G2192" sorrow|strong="G3077" from|strong="G0575" them of whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G3165" ought|strong="G1163" to rejoice|strong="G5463"; having confidence|strong="G3982" in|strong="G1909" you|strong="G5209" all|strong="G3956", that|strong="G3754" my|strong="G1699" joy|strong="G5479" is|strong="G2076" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{the joy} of you|strong="G5216" all|strong="G3956". 
\verseNumber{4}For|strong="G1063" out of|strong="G1537" much|strong="G4183" affliction|strong="G2347" and|strong="G2532" anguish|strong="G4928" of heart|strong="G2588" I wrote|strong="G1125" unto you|strong="G5213" with|strong="G1223" many|strong="G4183" tears|strong="G1144"; not|strong="G3756" that|strong="G2443" ye should be grieved|strong="G3076", but|strong="G0235" that|strong="G2443" ye might know|strong="G1097" the love|strong="G0026" which|strong="G3739" I have|strong="G2192" more abundantly|strong="G4056" unto|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5209". 
\verseNumber{5}But|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1487" any|strong="G5100" have caused grief|strong="G3076", he hath|strong="G3076" not|strong="G3756" grieved|strong="G3076" me|strong="G1691", but|strong="G0235" in|strong="G0575" part|strong="G3313": that|strong="G2443" I may|strong="G1912" not|strong="G3361" overcharge|strong="G1912" you|strong="G5209" all|strong="G3956".

\verseNumber{8}Wherefore|strong="G1352" I beseech|strong="G3870" you|strong="G5209" that ye would confirm|strong="G2964" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{your} love|strong="G0026" toward|strong="G1519" him|strong="G0846". 
\verseNumber{9}For|strong="G1063" to|strong="G1519" this end|strong="G5124" also|strong="G2532" did I write|strong="G1125", that|strong="G2443" I might know|strong="G1097" the proof|strong="G1382" of you|strong="G5216", whether|strong="G1487" ye be|strong="G2075" obedient|strong="G5255" in|strong="G1519" all things|strong="G3956". 
\verseNumber{10}To whom|strong="G3739" ye forgive|strong="G5483" any thing|strong="G5100", I|strong="G1473" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{forgive} also|strong="G2532": for|strong="G1063" if|strong="G1487" I|strong="G1473" forgave|strong="G5483" any thing|strong="G5100", to whom|strong="G3739" I forgave|strong="G5483" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it}, for|strong="G1223" your sakes|strong="G5209" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{forgave I it} in|strong="G1722" the person|strong="G4383" of Christ|strong="G5547"; 
\verseNumber{11}Lest|strong="G2443" Satan|strong="G4567" should get an advantage|strong="G4122" of|strong="G5259" us: for|strong="G1063" we are|strong="G0050" not|strong="G3756" ignorant|strong="G0050" of his|strong="G0846" devices|strong="G3540". 
\verseNumber{12}Furthermore|strong="G1161", when I came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" Troas|strong="G5174" to|strong="G1519" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{preach} Christ’s|strong="G5547" gospel|strong="G2098", and|strong="G2532" a door|strong="G2374" was opened|strong="G0455" unto me|strong="G3427" of|strong="G1722" the Lord|strong="G2962",
