(4) For from much affliction and a distressed heart I wrote to you with many tears, not so that you're grieved but rather that you may know the love which I have abundantly towards you.
The F.O.G*
[4] I wrote that letter in deep anguish, with a troubled heart and through many tears. My purpose wasn't to wound you, but to let you know the depth of my love - love so vast it sometimes hurts, like a parent's heart breaking over a wayward child.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.
