TSK · 2 Corinthians 2:1

So the disciples, each in accordance with his financial ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.

Barnabas wanted to bring John called Mark along with them too,

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

And with this confidence I intended to come to you first so that you would get a second opportunity to see us,

For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not to make you sad, but to let you know the love that I have especially for you.

For I am afraid that somehow when I come I will not find you what I wish, and you will find me not what you wish. I am afraid that somehow there may be quarreling, jealousy, intense anger, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

Final Instructions and Greeting When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.
