But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.

But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.

Εγω δε μαρτυρα τον Θεον επικαλουμαι εις την ψυχην μου, οτι φειδομενος υμων δεν ηλθον ετι εις Κορινθον.

Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
