2 Corinthians 2:2-11

2ForG1063 ifG1487 IG1473 grieveG3076 youG4771, whoG5101 is left to cheerG2165 meG1473 butG1487G3361 thoseG3588 whom IG1473 have grievedG3076? 3I wroteG1125 as I didG3778G846 so thatG2443 on my arrivalG2064 I would not beG3361G2192 grievedG3077 byG575 those whoG3739 ought to makeG1163 meG1473 rejoiceG5463. I had confidenceG3982 inG1909 all ofG3956 youG4771, thatG3754 youG4771 would share myG1699 joyG5479. 4ForG1063 throughG1223 manyG4183 tearsG1144 I wroteG1125 youG4771 out ofG1537 greatG4183 distressG2347 andG2532 anguishG4928 of heartG2588, notG3756 toG2443 grieve youG3076 butG235 toG2443 let you knowG1097 how muchG4057 I love youG26G3739G2192G1519G4771.

5NowG1161 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 has caused griefG3076, he has not grievedG3756G3076 meG1473 butG235 allG3956 of youG4771—toG575 some degreeG3313, notG3361 toG2443 overstateG1912 it. 6TheG3588 punishmentG2009 imposed on him byG5259 theG3588 majorityG4119 is sufficientG2425 forG3588 himG5108. 7SoG5620 insteadG5121G3123, youG4771 ought to forgiveG5483 andG2532 comfortG3870 him, so thatG4459 heG5108 will not be overwhelmedG3361G2666 byG3588 excessiveG4053 sorrowG3077. 8ThereforeG1352 I urgeG3870 youG4771 to reaffirmG2964 your loveG26 forG1519 himG846.

9My purposeG1519 in writingG3778G1063G2532G1125 you was toG2443 seeG1097 ifG1487 youG4771 would stand the testG1382 and be obedientG5255 inG1519 everythingG3956. 10If you forgiveG5483 anyoneG3739G5100, I alsoG2504 forgive him. AndG2532 ifG1487 I have forgivenG5483 anythingG5100, IG1473 have forgivenG5483 it inG1722 the presenceG4383 of ChristG5547 for your sakeG1223G4771, 11in order thatG2443 SatanG4567 should not outwit usG3361G4122. ForG1063 we are not unawareG3756G50 of hisG846 schemesG3540.
