2 CORINTHIANS 7:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.”
So even though I wrote to you, it was neither on account of the one who did the wrong nor on account of the one who suffered the wrong, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are — Paul clarifies motivation: not vindication of either party but revelation of Corinthian devotion (spoude) to Paul. The letter's purpose was to expose their allegiance.
