I call God as my witness— and I stake my life on it— that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

I call God to be my witness. May he take my life if I’m lying. I wanted to spare you, so I didn’t return to Corinth.

But I call God to witness against me— it was to spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth.

Now I call upon God as my witness that I am telling the truth. The reason I didn’t return to Corinth was to spare you from a severe rebuke.

I call on God as a witness, on my life, that it was to spare you that I did not come to Corinth.

But I call God as witness to my soul, that it was to spare you that I did not come again to Corinth.

Moreover I call God as witness against my soul, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.

But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.

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

Now I appeal to God as my witness, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you.

For God, whom I serve with my spirit in telling the good news about His Son, is my witness that I constantly mention you,

Now I am not lying in what I write to you. God is my witness.

What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

I gave a warning when I was present the second time, and now I give a warning while I am absent to those who sinned before and to all the rest: If I come again, I will not be lenient,

This is why I am writing these things while absent, that when I am there I will not use severity, in keeping with the authority the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

For we never used flattering speech, as you know, or had greedy motives— God is our witness—

And we are ready to punish any disobedience, once your obedience has been confirmed.Look at what is obvious. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself of this: Just as he belongs to Christ, so do we.For if I boast some more about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I am not ashamed.I don’t want to seem as though I am trying to terrify you with my letters.For it is said,“ His letters are weighty and powerful, but his physical presence is weak, and his public speaking is despicable.”Such a person should consider this: What we are in the words of our letters when absent, we will be in actions when present.

Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows I do!

For God is my witness, how deeply I miss all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

For I fear that perhaps when I come I will not find you to be what I want, and I may not be found by you to be what you want; there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is praised forever, knows I am not lying.

In fact, I made up my mind about this: I would not come to you on another painful visit.For if I cause you pain, then who will cheer me other than the one being hurt by me?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.

turn that one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.

I beg you that when I am present I will not need to be bold with the confidence by which I plan to challenge certain people who think we are behaving in an unspiritual way.

I speak the truth in Christ— I am not lying; my conscience is testifying to me with the Holy Spirit—

Hymenaeus and Alexander are among them, and I have delivered them to Satan, so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.

As God is faithful, our message to you is not“ Yes and no.”
