2 Corinthians 2:1-4 - The Change In Paul's Plans

¹ But I determined this in myself, not to come again to you in sadness. ² For if I make you sad, who then is he who makes me glad except he who is made sad by me? ³ And I wrote this same thing to you, so that when I came, I would not have sadness from whom I ought to rejoice, having been confident toward you all, because my joy is of all of you. ⁴ For out of much stress and dismay of heart, through many tears, I wrote to you, not that ye would be grieved, but that ye might know the love that I have so much more for you.
