2 Corinthians 2:1-4

1Because of that, I decided not to visit you again at that time. I did not want to make you sad.

2You are the only people who can make me happy. So, if I make you sad, there will be nobody to make me happy.

3That is why I did not visit you. I wrote that letter to you instead. You are the people who should make me happy. I did not want you to make me sad when I visited you. I felt sure about all of you. I knew that, if I was happy, then all of you would be happy too.

4When I wrote that letter, I was very sad and upset. I cried a lot. I did not want to make you sad. Instead, I wanted you to know that I love you very much.
