For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
Él literalmente se estaba muriendo, como que casi lo perdimos. Pero Dios le tuvo misericordia y lo sanó. ¿Y sabes qué? Dios también me cuidó a mí, porque perderlo habría sido dolor sobre dolor.
Dios mostró misericordia sanando a alguien querido, evitando así un dolor adicional.
