20. Formal Translation For I fear, lest perhaps when I come, I may not find you as I wish, and I may be found by you as you do not wish—lest perhaps there be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, slanders, whisperings, arrogances, disorders. |
20. Dynamic Translation I am afraid that when I visit, I will not find you as I want, and you will find me as you do not want—possibly seeing quarrels, envy, angry outbursts, selfish competition, slander, secretive whispering, prideful behavior, and chaos. |
