Paul Delays His Visit to Corinth

Paul Delays His Visit to Corinth

15And with this confidence, I was wanting to come to you previously, in order that you may have a second proof of my goodwill, 16and through you to go to Macedonia, and to come to you again from Macedonia, and to be sent on my way by you to Judea. 17Therefore, when I[fn] was wanting to do this, perhaps then was I making use of vacillation? Or was I deciding what I was deciding according to the flesh, in order that with me my “yes” may be “yes” and my “no” may be “no” at the same time?[fn] 18But God is faithful, so that our word to you is not “yes” and “no.” 19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the one who was proclaimed among you by us, by me and Silvanus and Timothy, did not become “yes” and “no,” but has become “yes” in him. 20For as many as are the promises of God, in him they are “yes”; therefore also through him is the “amen” to the glory of God through us. 21Now the one who establishes us together with you in Christ and who anoints us is God, 22who also sealed us and gave the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

23But I call upon God as witness against my life, that in order to[fn] spare you, I did not come again to Corinth. 24Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers for your joy, because by faith you stand firm.

2For I have decided this for myself, not to come to you again in sorrow. 2For if I cause you sorrow, then who will make me glad except the one who is caused to be sad by me? 3And I wrote this very thing in order that when I[fn] came, I would not experience sorrow from those who ought to have made me glad, because I[fn] have confidence about you all, that my joy belongs to all of you[fn]. 4For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not so that you may be caused to be sad, but so that you may know the love that I have especially for you.
