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

¹ But I determined this within myself, that I would not come to you again in grief. ² For if I make you sorry, who then is he who makes me glad, but the same who has been made sorry by me? ³ And I wrote this to you, lest when I came I should have sorrow from the ones 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 trouble and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have more abundantly to you.
