2 Corinthians 2:2-11

2For if I grieveG3076 you, who alsoG2532 [is] it that gladdens me, if not he that is grievedG3076 through me?

3And I have writtenG1125 this very [letter] [to you], that comingG2064 I may not have griefG3077 from those from whom I oughtG1163 to have joyG5479; trustingG3982 in you all that my joyG5479 isG1510 [that] of you all.

4For out of muchG4183 tribulationG2347 and distress of heartG2588 I wroteG1125 to you, with manyG4183 tearsG1144; not that ye may be grievedG3076, but that ye may knowG1097 the loveG26 which I have very abundantly towards you.

5But if any oneG5100 has grievedG3076, he has grievedG3076, not me, but in partG3313 (that I may not overcharge [you]) all of you.

6SufficientG2425 to such a oneG3778 [is] this rebuke which [has been inflicted] by the manyG4183;

7so that on the contraryG5121 ye should ratherG3123 shew grace and encourageG3870, lestG3361 perhaps such a oneG3588 should be swallowedG2666 up with excessiveG4053 griefG3077.

8Wherefore I exhortG3870 you to assure him of [your] loveG26.

9For to this end alsoG2532 I have writtenG1125, that I might knowG1097, by putting you to the test, if as to everythingG3956 ye areG1510 obedientG5255.

10But to whom ye forgiveG5483 anythingG5100, I alsoG2532; for I alsoG2532, what I have forgivenG5483, if I have forgivenG5483 anythingG5100, [it is] for your sakesG1223 in [the] person of ChristG5547;

11that we might not have SatanG4567 get an advantage against us, for we are not ignorantG50 of his thoughts.
