2 Corinthians 12:19-21
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
In All This I Am Speaking To Edify You, Lest I Should Have To Come And Mourn Over You
19 All-this-time are you thinking[a] that we are defending-ourselves to you? We are speaking before God in Christ— and speaking all things, beloved, for the sake of your edification. 20 For I am fearing that having come, I may somehow find you to be not such as I want and I may be found by you to be such as you do not want— that somehow there may be strife, jealousy, rages[b], selfish-interests, slanders, whisperings, puffings [with pride], disorders[c]; 21 that I having come again[d], my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn many of the ones having previously-sinned and not having repented over[e] the impurity and sexual-immorality and sensuality which they practiced.

King James Version
19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
