2 Corinthians 1:23

Context
Why Paul Postponed His Visit

1:23 Now I appeal to God as my witness, 1  that to spare 2  you I did not come again to Corinth. 3 

1 tn Grk “I call upon God as witness against my soul.” Normally this implies an appeal for help (L&N 33.176).

2 tn Here φειδόμενος (feidomeno") has been translated as a telic participle.

3 sn Paul had promised to come again to visit (see 2 Cor 1:15, 24) but explains here why he had changed his plans.
