2 Corinthians 1:23

23But aI call God to witness against me—it was bto spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth.

2 Corinthians 2:1-3

1For I made up my mind cnot to make another painful visit to you. 2For dif I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained? 3And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, efor I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.
