2 Corinthians 2:1-3

English Standard Version Anglicised

2 For I made up my mind ^(A)not to make another painful visit to you. ² For ^(B)if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained? ³ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, ^(C)for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.
