# Connecting Statement:

Paul explains his sincere expectation with pure motives to come see the believers in Corinth after his first letter.

# Because I was confident about this

The word "this" refers to Paul's previous comments about the Corinthians.

# so that you might receive a second favor

Paul hoped to visit the Corinthians two times. Each visit would be a favor to the people. Alternate translation: "so that you might benefit from me visiting you twice"
