2 Corinthians 1:22-24
International Children’s Bible
22 He put his mark on us to show that we are his. And he put his Spirit in our hearts to be a guarantee for all he has promised.
23 I tell you this, and I ask God to be my witness that this is true: The reason I did not come back to Corinth was that I did not want to punish or hurt you. 24 I do not mean that we are trying to control your faith. You are strong in faith. But we are workers with you for your own happiness.

22 set his seal(A) of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.(B)
23 I call God as my witness(C)—and I stake my life on it—that it was in order to spare you(D) that I did not return to Corinth. 24 Not that we lord it over(E) your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.(F)
