2 Corinthians 2:1-4 For I judged this within myself, not to come to you again in grief.

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For I judged this within myself, not to come to you again in grief. ² For if I grieve you again, who is making me glad, except the one being grieved by me? ³ And I wrote this same thing, so that having come, I might not have grief from those of whom it behooves me to rejoice, trusting in you all, that my joy is shared by all of you. ⁴ For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you through many tears, not that you might be grieved, but that you might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.
