TSK · 2 Corinthians 2:1

As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.

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

In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.

For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don't desire; that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots;

When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
