2 Corinthians 2:1-3 But I determined this with myself, that my next visit to you should not be in sorrow.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But I determined this with myself, that my next visit to you should not be in sorrow. ² For if I make you sorrowful, who is there to make me glad but he that is made sorrowful by me? ³ And I wrote about this very matter, that I might not on my coming have sorrow from those who ought to gladden me, having confidence in all of you, that my joy is the joy of you all.
