2 Corinthians 1:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ We are writing only what you can read and understand. And here is what I hope. ¹⁴ Up to this point you have understood some of the things we have said. But now here is what I hope for when the Lord Jesus returns. I hope that your pride in us will be the same as our pride in you. When this happens, you will understand us completely.

¹⁵ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to visit you first. Here is how I thought you would be helped twice.
