2 Corinthians 1:23-2:4
Legacy Standard Bible
23 But (A)I call God as witness [a]to my soul, that (B)to spare you I did not come again to (C)Corinth. 24 Not that we (D)lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are (E)standing firm.
2 But I determined this [b]for my own sake, that I (F)would not come to you again in sorrow. 2 For if I (G)cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful? 3 And this is the very thing I (H)wrote you, so that (I)when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having (J)confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all. 4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I (K)wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have abundantly for you.
