2 Corinthians 2:1-3 ▼

1 Now I decided not to pay you another painful visit.

2 After all, if I were to grieve you, who should make me happy but the person I am making sad?

3 This is the very reason I wrote you, so that when I did come I might not be made sad by those who should have made me happy. For I had confidence that all of you would share the joy that I have.
