2 Corinthians 2:1-10

1But I determinedG2919 thisG3778 1for my ownG1683 sakeG1683, that I 2would not comeG2064 to you in sorrowG3077 againG3825. 2For ifG1487 I 3causeG3076 you sorrowG3076, whoG5101 thenG2532 makesG2165 me gladG2165 but the one whom I madeG3076 sorrowfulG3076? 3ThisG3778 is the veryG846 thingG846 I 4wroteG1125 you, soG2443G3361 that 5when I cameG2064, I would not haveG2192 sorrowG3077 from those whoG3739 oughtG1163 to makeG1163 me rejoiceG5463; havingG3982 6confidenceG3982 in you allG3956 that my joyG5479 would be the joy of you allG3956. 4For out of muchG4183 afflictionG2347 and anguishG4928 of heartG2588 I 7wroteG1125 to you with manyG4183 tearsG1144; not soG2443 that you would be madeG3076 sorrowfulG3076, but that you might knowG1097 the loveG26 whichG3739 I haveG2192 especiallyG4053 for you.

5But 8ifG1487 anyG5100 has causedG3076 sorrowG3076, he has causedG3076 sorrowG3076 not to me, but in someG3313 degreeG3313--9in orderG2443 not to sayG1912 tooG1912 muchG1912--to allG3956 of you. 6SufficientG2425 for suchG5108 a oneG5108 is 10thisG3778 punishmentG2009 which was inflicted by the majorityG4183, 7soG5620 that on the contraryG5121 you should ratherG3123 11forgiveG5483 and comfortG3870 him, otherwiseG3381 suchG5108 a oneG5108 might be overwhelmedG2666 by excessiveG4053 sorrowG3077. 8WhereforeG1352 I urgeG3870 you to reaffirmG2964 your loveG26 for him. 9For to thisG3778 end alsoG2532 12I wroteG1125, soG2443 that I might 1314putG1097 you to the testG1382, whetherG1487 you are 15obedientG5255 in allG3956 thingsG3956. 10But oneG5100 whomG3739 you forgiveG5483 anythingG5100, I forgive alsoG2532; for indeedG2532 whatG3739 I have forgivenG5483, ifG1487 I have forgivenG5483 anythingG5100, I did it for your sakesG1223 16in the presenceG4383 of ChristG5547,
