(2co 2:1) But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
(2co 2:2) For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
(2co 2:3) And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is {the joy} of you all.
(2co 2:4) For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
(2co 2:5) But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
(2co 2:6) Sufficient to such a man {is} this punishment, which {was inflicted} of many.
(2co 2:7) So that contrariwise ye {ought} rather to forgive {him}, and comfort {him}, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
(2co 2:8) Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm {your} love toward him.
(2co 2:9) For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
(2co 2:10) To whom ye forgive any thing, I {forgive} also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave {it}, for your sakes {forgave I it} in the person of Christ;
(2co 2:11) Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
(2co 2:12) Furthermore, when I came to Troas to {preach} Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
(2co 2:13) I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
(2co 2:14) Now thanks {be} unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
(2co 2:15) For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
(2co 2:16) To the one {we are} the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who {is} sufficient for these things?
(2co 2:17) For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
