But I call on God as my soul’s witness, that it was to spare you [pain and discouragement] that I did not come again to Corinth—

We are glad when we are weak [since God’s power comes freely through us], but you [by comparison] are strong. We also pray for this, that you be made complete [fully restored, growing and maturing in godly character and spirit—pleasing your heavenly Father by the life you live].
