2 Corinthians 2

2But I determined this with myself, ^athat I would not come again to you in heaviness. ^2bFor if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? ³And I wrote this same unto you, ^clest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; ^dhaving confidence in you all, that ^emy joy is the joy of you all. ⁴For out of much affliction and ^fanguish of heart ^gI wrote unto you with many tears; ^gnot that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

⁵But ^hif any have caused grief, ^hhhe hath not grieved me, but ⁱin part: that I may not overcharge you all. ⁶Sufficient to such a man is this ^||jpunishment, which was inflicted ^kof many. ⁷So that contrariwise ^lye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. ⁸Wherefore I beseech you that ye would ^mconfirm your love toward him. ⁹For to this end also did I write, that I might know ⁿthe proof of you, whether ^oye be obedient in all things. ¹⁰To whom ^pye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it ^||qin the ^rperson of Christ; ¹¹Lest ^sSatan should ^tget an advantage of us: for ^uwe are not ignorant of his ^wdevices.

¹²Furthermore, when I came to ^xTroas to preach Christ’s gospel, and ^ya door was opened unto me of the Lord, ^13zI had no rest in my spirit, because I found not ^aTitus my brother: but ^btaking my leave of them, ^cI went from thence into Macedonia. ¹⁴Now thanks be unto God, which always ^dcauseth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest ^ethe savour of his knowledge by us in every place. ¹⁵For we are unto God ^ea sweet savour of Christ, in ^fthem that are ^gsaved, and ^hin ^fthem that perish: ^16ijTo the one we are the savour of death unto death; and ^jto the other the savour of life unto life. And ^kwho is sufficient for these things? ¹⁷For we are not as many, which ^||lcorrupt the word of God: but as of ^msincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we ^||in Christ.
