2 Corinthians 2:2-11

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.
