So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.

For I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.

So I decided that I would not bring you grief with another painful visit.

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

But I decided this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again.

But I determined this within myself, that I would not come again to you in sorrow.

But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow.

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

But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

So I made up my own mind not to pay you another painful visit.

But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.

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.

What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline, or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit?

This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority— the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.

For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.

Because I was confident of this, I wanted to visit you first so that you might benefit twice.I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea.Was I fickle when I intended to do this? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say both“ Yes, yes” and“ No, no”?

The disciples, as each one was able, decided to provide help for the brothers and sisters living in Judea.

As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.

For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this.

This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.

For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.

For when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn— conflicts on the outside, fears within.But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever.Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it— I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while—

Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them,
