— 2 Corinthians 2:1, NET Bible
“But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.”
“But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow. ”
“But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.”
“But I determined this with myself, to come to you again in sorrow.”
“But it was my decision for myself, not to come again to you with sorrow.”
“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.
For if I make you sad, who would be left to make me glad but the one I caused to be sad?
And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came I would not have sadness from those who ought to make me rejoice, since I am confident in you all that my joy would be yours.
For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not to make you sad, but to let you know the love that I have especially for you.
