Y les escribí precisamente esto para que, al llegar, no reciba tristeza de aquellos que debían alegrarme. Tengo confianza en todos ustedes de que mi alegría es la de todos ustedes.
J'ai écrit comme je l'ai fait pour ne pas éprouver, à mon arrivée, de la tristesse de la part de ceux qui devaient me donner de la joie, ayant en vous tous cette confiance que ma joie est la vôtre à tous.
E quello stesso vi ho io scritto, acciocchè quando verrò, io non abbia tristezza sopra tristezza da coloro, dai quali io dovea avere allegrezza; confidandomi di tutti voi, che la mia allegrezza è quella di tutti voi.
E escrevi-vos isto mesmo, para que, quando lá for, não tenha tristeza da parte dos que deveriam alegrar-me; confiando em vós todos, que a minha alegria é a de todos vós.
