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

1 But I determined this with myself, that my next visit to you should not be in sorrow. 2 For if I make you sorrowful, who is there to make me glad but he that is made sorrowful by me? 3 And I wrote about this very matter, that I might not on my coming have sorrow from those who ought to gladden me, having confidence in all of you, that my joy is the joy of you all. 4 For out of much distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that ye should be made sorrowful, but that ye might know the exceeding love which I have for you.
