  2nd Corinthians   chapter 2

       1 But I determined this with myself, that I
      would not come again to you in heaviness.
       2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that
      maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry
      by me?
       3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I
      came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I
      ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all,
      that my joy is the joy of you all.
       4 For out of much affliction and anguish of
      heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that
      ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the
      love which I have more abundantly unto you.
       5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not
      grieved me, but in part: that I may not
      overcharge you all.
       6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment,
      which was inflicted of many.
       7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to
      forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a
      one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
       8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm
      your love toward him.
       9 For to this end also did I write, that I might
      know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in
      all things.
      10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also:
      for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it,
      for your sakes forgave I it in the person of
      Christ;
      11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for
      we are not ignorant of his devices.
      12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach
      Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of
      the Lord,
      13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found
      not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of
      them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
      14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth
      us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the
      savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
      15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ,
      in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
      16 To the one we are the savour of death unto
      death; and to the other the savour of life unto
      life. And who is sufficient for these things?
      17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word
      of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in
      the sight of God speak we in Christ.
