2Corinthians 2




tcent@2Corinthians:2:1 @ So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?

tcent@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I had confidence in all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:6 @ Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:8 @ I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:10 @ Any one whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:11 @ in order that Satan might gain no advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Now when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I still had no rest in my mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took my leave of them and went on to Macedonia.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:14 @ But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to the one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

tcent@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God; but as men of sincerity, as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
