2 Corinthians 2:1-3

But I decided this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again.

For if I cause you sorrow, who then will be the one making me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me?

This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy was the joy of you all.
