SCRIPTURE

"Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith ye stand fast." — 2 Corinthians 1:24 (ASV)

We have lordship over (κυριευομεν). Old verb from κυριος, to be lord of or over. See Lu 22:25.

Helpers of your joy (συνεργο της χαρας υμων). Co-workers (1 Corinthians 3:8) in your joy. A delicate correction to present misapprehension (επανορθωσις).
