And in this confidence I wished to come unto you sooner, that you may have a second grace;

and through you to go unto Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be sent forward into Judea.

But I call God to witness to my soul, that sparing you I did not yet come into Corinth:

But I determined this to myself, not again to come unto you in sorrow.

And I wrote this same thing, in order that, having come, I may not have grief over those from whom it behooves me to rejoice; and having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
