2 Corinthians 2:1-3

Contemporary English Version

2 I have decided not to make my next visit with you so painful. ² If I make you feel bad, who would be left to cheer me up, except the people I had made to feel bad? ³ The reason I want to be happy is to make you happy. I wrote as I did because I didn't want to visit you and be made to feel bad, when you should make me feel happy.
