2 Corinthians 2:1-5 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. I have decided not to make my next visit to you so painful.

2. If I make you feel bad, who would be left to cheer me up, except the people I had made to feel bad?

3. The reason I want to be happy is to make you happy. I wrote as I did because I didn't want to visit you and be made to feel bad, when you should make me feel happy.

4. At the time I wrote, I was suffering terribly. My eyes were full of tears, and my heart was broken. But I didn't want to make you feel bad. I only wanted to let you know how much I cared for you.

5. I don't want to be hard on you. But if one of you has made someone feel bad, I am not really the one who has been made to feel bad. Some of you are the ones.
