2 Corinthians 1:15-2 Corinthians 2:4 - Paul Delays His Visit To Corinth

¹⁵ And, in this confidence, I purposed, before, to come unto you, - in order that, a second joy, ye might have, - ¹⁶ And, by your means, to pass into Macedonia, and, again, from Macedonia, to come unto you, and, by you, be set forward unto Judea: - ¹⁷ This, then, being my purpose, perhaps, after all, with lightness, I dealt with the matter ? or, the things that I purpose, according to the flesh, I purpose, - that, with me, should be the Yea, yea, and the Nay, nay? ¹⁸ Faithful, however, is God, in that, our discourse, which was delivered unto you, is not Yea and Nay; ¹⁹ For, the Son of God, Christ Jesus - who, among you, through us, was proclaimed, - through me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, became not Yea and Nay, - but Yea, in him, hath it become; ²⁰ For, how many soever be the promises of God, in him, is the Yea, - wherefore also, through him, be the Amen, unto God, for glory, through us. ²¹ Now, he that confirmeth us, together with you, for Christ, and hath anointed us, is God: ²² Who also hath sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

²³ But, I, call upon God, as a witness, against my own soul, - that, to spare you, not yet, have I come unto Corinth: ²⁴ Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are, helpers, of your joy, for, by your faith, ye stand.

¹ For I have determined, unto myself, this - not, again, in grief, to come unto you. ² For, if, I, grieve you, who then is he that is to gladden me, - save he who is being grieved through me; ³ And I wrote this very thing - lest, if I came, I should have, grief, from those over whom I had need to rejoice, - having confidence in you all, that, my joy, is the joy, of you all. ⁴ For, out of much tribulation and anguish of heart, wrote I unto you, through many tears, - not that ye might be grieved, but that, the love, ye might know, which I have very abundantly unto you.
