2 CORINTHIANS 1:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.”
I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth — Paul invokes God as witness to his motives, a solemn oath formula. The change in plans was not whimsy but pastoral wisdom: the Corinthian crisis required time to mature before his visit. Restraint becomes an act of love.
