2 Corinthians 2:1-3 ▼

1 In fact, I made up my mind about this: I would not come to you on another painful visit.

2 For if I cause you pain, then who will cheer me other than the one being hurt by me?

3 I wrote this very thing so that when I came I wouldn’t have pain from those who ought to give me joy, because I am confident about all of you that my joy will also be yours.
