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

¹ For I have definitely decided not to pay you another painful visit. ² For if I make you sad, who is there to make me glad but the very man who has been made sad by me? ³ This is the very thing I wrote you, that when I did come I might not be made sad by the very people who ought to make me glad, for I had confidence in you all that my gladness would be gladness to you all. ⁴ For out of great sorrow and distress of heart, yes, while shedding many tears, I wrote you, not to make you sad but to make you realize that my love for you continues running over.
