Context of 2 Corinthians 2:12
10But to whom ye forgive anything, I also; for I also, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, [it is] for your sakes in [the] person of Christ; 11that we might not have Satan get an advantage against us, for we are not ignorant of his thoughts. Now when I came to Troas for the [publication of the] glad tidings of the Christ, a door also being opened to me in [the] Lord, 13I had no rest in my spirit at not finding Titus my brother; but bidding them adieu, I came away to Macedonia. 14But thanks [be] to God, who always leads us in triumph in the Christ, and makes manifest the odour of his knowledge through us in every place.
