2 Corinthians 2:1-4 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. So I decided that my next visit to you would not be another visit to make you sad.

2. If I make you sad, who will make me happy? Only you can make me happy—you whom I made sad.

3. I wrote you a letter for this reason: that when I came to you I would not be made sad by the people who should make me happy. I felt sure of all of you. I felt sure that you would share my joy.

4. When I wrote to you before, I was very troubled and unhappy in my heart. I wrote with many tears. I did not write to make you sad, but to let you know how much I love you.
