2Co 1:23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

2Co 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

2Co 2:1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

2Co 2:2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?

2Co 2:3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

2Co 2:4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
