2 Corinthians 2

 Paul, being somewhat sorrowful for his strictness in writing a previous epistle, follows - 

:...I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all."  (2 Corinthians 2:3–5)

The Lord and His leaders sometimes chastise us because He loves us.
