Paul uses this rhetorical question to emphasize that neither he nor they would benefit if his coming to them would cause them pain. Alternate translation: "If I caused you sorrow, the only ones who could cheer me up would be the very ones whom I had made sorrowful." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "the very one whom I had hurt" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
