2 Corinthians 2

1But I determined this for myself, that I would not comeG2064 againG3825 to you with sorrowG3077. 2For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad but he that is made sorry by me? 3And I wroteG1125 this very thingG3778, lestG3361, when I cameG2064, I should have sorrowG3077 from them of whom I oughtG1163 to rejoiceG5463; having confidenceG3982 in you all, that my joyG5479 isG1510 the joyG5479 of you all. 4For out of muchG4183 afflictionG2347 and anguish of heartG2588 I wroteG1125 unto you with manyG4183 tearsG1144; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might knowG1097 the loveG26 which I have moreG4183 abundantly unto you.

5But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in partG3313 (that I press not too heavily) to you all. 6SufficientG2425 to such a oneG3778 is this punishment which was inflicted by the manyG4183; 7so that contrariwise ye should ratherG3123 forgiveG5483 him and comfortG3870 him, lestG3361 by any means such a oneG3588 should be swallowedG2666 up with his overmuch sorrowG3077. 8Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your loveG26 toward him. 9For to this end alsoG2532 did I writeG1125, that I might knowG1097 the proofG1382 of you, whether ye areG1510 obedientG5255 in all thingsG3778. 10But to whom ye forgiveG5483 anythingG5100, I forgiveG5483 alsoG2532: for what I alsoG2532 have forgivenG5483, if I have forgivenG5483 anythingG5100, for your sakesG1223 have I forgivenG5483 it in the presenceG4383 of ChristG5547; 11that no advantage may be gained over us by SatanG4567: for we are not ignorantG50 of his devices.

12NowG1161 when I cameG2064 to TroasG5174 for the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, and when a doorG2374 was openedG455 unto me in the LordG2962, 13I had no relief for my spiritG4151, because I foundG2147 not TitusG5103 my brotherG80: but taking my leave of them, I wentG1831 forthG1831 into MacedoniaG3109.

14But thanksG5485 be unto GodG2316, who alwaysG3842 leadeth us in triumph in ChristG5547, and maketh manifestG5319 through us the savor of his knowledgeG1108 in every placeG5117. 15For we areG1510 a sweet savor of ChristG5547 unto GodG2316, in them that areG1510 savedG4982, and in them that perishG622; 16to the oneG3739 a savor from deathG2288 unto deathG2288; to the other a savor from lifeG2222 unto lifeG2222. And who is sufficientG2425 for these thingsG3778? 17For we areG1510 not as the manyG4183, corrupting the wordG3056 of GodG2316: but as of sincerityG1505, but as of GodG2316, in the sight of GodG2316, speakG2980 we in ChristG5547.
