2 Corinthians 1:23-2:4
Authorized (King James) Version
23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. 24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
2 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. 2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? 3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. 4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
2 Corinthians 1:23-2:4
21st Century King James Version
23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that it was to spare you that I came not as yet unto Corinth,
24 not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers for your joy. For by faith ye stand.
2 But I determined this within myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
2 For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then who maketh me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me?
3 And I wrote as I did unto you lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from those of whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears, not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly for you.
