But I determined this for my own sake ,
that I would not come to you in sorrow again .

2Corinthians:2:2 @
For if I cause you sorrow ,
who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful ?
nasb @
2Corinthians:2:3 @
This is the very thing I wrote you ,
so that when I came ,
I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice ;
having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all .

2Corinthians:2:4 @
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears ;
not so that you would be made sorrowful ,
but that you might know the love which I have especially for you .

2Corinthians:2:5 @
But if any has caused sorrow ,
he has caused sorrow not to me ,
but in some degree--in order not to say too much--to all of you .

Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority ,

2Corinthians:2:7 @
so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him ,
otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow .

2Corinthians:2:8 @
Wherefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him .

2Corinthians:2:9 @
For to this end also I wrote ,
so that I might put you to the test ,
whether you are obedient in all things .

2Corinthians:2:10 @
But one whom you forgive anything ,
I forgive also ;
for indeed what I have forgiven ,
if I have forgiven anything ,
I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ ,

so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan ,
for we are not ignorant of his schemes .

Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord ,

2Corinthians:2:13 @
I had no rest for my spirit ,
not finding Titus my brother ;
but taking my leave of them ,
I went on to Macedonia .

2Corinthians:2:14 @
But thanks be to God ,
who always leads us in triumph in Christ ,
and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place .
nasb @
2Corinthians:2:15 @
For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing ;
nasb @
2Corinthians:2:16 @
to the one an aroma from death to death ,
to the other an aroma from life to life .
And who is adequate for these things ?
nasb @
2Corinthians:2:17 @
For we are not like many ,
peddling the word of God ,
but as from sincerity ,
but as from God ,
we speak in Christ in the sight of God .
