Exegesis
The main verb egrapsa {ἔγραψα | é-grap-sa} “I wrote” anchors the clause, with the demonstrative touto auto {τοῦτο αὐτὸ | toû-to au-tó} forming an emphatic object, “this very thing,” by combining demonstrative and intensive pronoun.
In context — 2 Corinthians 2:3
And I wrote this very thing in order that I might not have sorrow when I came from those over whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.
