1:23–2:2 God as my witness: This mild oath indicates that he is telling the truth (see 1 Sam 12:5; 20:12; Job 16:19; cp. Ruth 1:17; 1 Sam 14:44; 2 Sam 3:35; 1 Kgs 2:23; Jer 42:5). The real reason for Paul’s change of travel plans was to spare them from a severe rebuke (2 Cor 1:23) and not inflict another painful visit on them (2:1).
