2 Corinthians 12:20-21
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
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[a], selfish-interests, slanders, whisperings, puffings [with pride], disorders[b]; 21 that I having come again[c], my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn many of the ones having previously-sinned and not having repented over[d] the impurity and sexual-immorality and sensuality which they practiced.
