Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith you stand.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 1:24 Go To 2 Corinthians 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul did not want to go to Corinth in order to plunge the Corinthians into despair. Instead, he stayed away so that they would reform themselves, fearing what might otherwise happen if he did come.
