2 Corinthians 2 : King James Version

2 1But I determined this with myself, that I would
not come again to you in heaviness. 2For 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, 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. 4For 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.
5But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me,
but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. 6Sufficient
to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
7So that contrariwise ye 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
confirm your love toward him. 9For to this end also did I
write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in
all things. 10To 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; 11Lest Satan
should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his
devices. 12Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach
Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, 13I
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. 14Now
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. 15For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in
them that are saved, and in them that perish: 16To 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?
17For 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.
