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