2 Corinthians 2:1-4
1For I made up my mind anot to make another painful visit to you. 2For bif I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained? 3And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, cfor I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all. 4For dI wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.
