A Plan for a Double Blessing
Commentators explain that Paul's original plan was to visit Corinth twice—once on his way to Macedonia and again on his return. He calls this a 'second benefit' or 'second joy.' This plan, far from being fickle, demonstrated his deep affection for the Corinthians and his desire to bless them with his presence as much as possible.
