2 Corinthians 1:15

13 For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,

14 as you have already understood us in part, so that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.

Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.

16 I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea.

17 When I planned this, did I do it carelessly? Or do I make my plans by human standards, so as to say “Yes, yes” when I really mean “No, no”?

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
