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.

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

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.

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

I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.

For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness( God is witness),

and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.For,“ His letters”, they say,“ are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.

Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.

For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie.

But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.For if I make you grieve, then who will make me glad but he who is made to grieve by me?And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit

of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not“ Yes and no.”
