2 Corinthians 1:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 as you have come to understand us partially, that we are your boast as you also are ours, on the day of [our] Lord Jesus.(A)
15 With this confidence I formerly intended to come[a] to you so that you might receive a double favor, 16 namely, to go by way of you to Macedonia, and then to come to you again on my return from Macedonia, and have you send me on my way to Judea.(B)

- 1:15 I formerly intended to come: this plan reads like a revision of the one mentioned in 1 Cor 16:5. Not until 2 Cor 1:23–2:1 will Paul tell us something his original readers already knew, that he has canceled one or the other of these projected visits.
2 Corinthians 1:14-16
New International Version
14 as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.(A)
15 Because I was confident of this, I wanted to visit you(B) first so that you might benefit twice.(C) 16 I wanted to visit you on my way(D) to Macedonia(E) and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way(F) to Judea.(G)
