2 Corinthians 12 20-2 Corinthians 12 21
I’m afraid that when I come I won’t find you as I want you to be. I’m afraid that you won’t find me as you want me to be. I’m afraid there will be arguing, jealousy and fits of anger. I’m afraid each of you will focus only on getting ahead. Then you will tell lies about each other. You will talk about each other. I’m afraid you will be proud and cause trouble.I’m afraid that when I come again my God will put me to shame in front of you. Then I will be sad about many who sinned earlier and have not turned away from it. They have not turned away from uncleanness, sexual sins and wild living. They have done all those things.

2 Corinthians 1 15-2 Corinthians 1 17
Because I was sure of this, I wanted to visit you first. Here is how I thought you would be helped twice.I planned to visit you on my way to Macedonia. I would have come back to you from there. Then you would have sent me on my way to Judea.When I planned all this, was I ready to change my mind for no good reason? No. I don’t make my plans the way the world makes theirs. In the same breath the world says both,“ Yes! Yes!” and“ No! No!”

2 Corinthians 7 5-2 Corinthians 7 8
When we came to Macedonia, we weren’t able to rest. We were attacked no matter where we went. We had battles on the outside and fears on the inside.But God comforts those who are sad. He comforted us when Titus came.We were comforted not only when he came but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us how much you longed for me. He told us about your deep sadness and concern for me. That made my joy greater than ever.Even if my letter made you sad, I’m not sorry I sent it. At first I was sorry. I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while.
