Second letter to the Corinthians 2:1

For I had decided not to come and cause you grief again.
[The text suggests that Paul made a brief "painful" visit after the first visit described in Acts 18:1–17. He also writes that he is prepared to come "a third time," which suggests that there was a second visit, see 2 Cor. 12:14.]
