I call God as my witness— and I stake my life on it— that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

I call God to be my witness. May he take my life if I’m lying. I wanted to spare you, so I didn’t return to Corinth.

But I call God to witness against me— it was to spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth.

Now I call upon God as my witness that I am telling the truth. The reason I didn’t return to Corinth was to spare you from a severe rebuke.

I call on God as a witness, on my life, that it was to spare you that I did not come to Corinth.

But I call God as witness to my soul, that it was to spare you that I did not come again to Corinth.

Moreover I call God as witness against my soul, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.

But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.

I call on God as a witness, on my life, that it was to spare you that I did not come to Corinth.

Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

Now I appeal to God as my witness, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you.

God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you (niv)

I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie. (niv)

What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline, or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit? (niv)

I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others, (niv)

This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority— the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down. (niv)

You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed— God is our witness. (niv)

And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.You are judging by appearances. If anyone is confident that they belong to Christ, they should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as they do.So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it.I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you with my letters.For some say,“ His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.”Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present. (niv)

Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do! (niv)

God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. (niv)

For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder. (niv)

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows that I am not lying. (niv)

So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved?I wrote as I did, so that when I came I would not be distressed by those who should have made me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would all share my joy. (niv)

hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord. (niv)

I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world. (niv)

I speak the truth in Christ— I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit— (niv)

Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme. (niv)

But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not“ Yes” and“ No.” (niv)
