2Corinthians:2
riversident@2Corinthians:2:1 @ BUT I decided this in my own mind, not to come again to you in sorrow.
riversident@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I grieve you, who is there to cheer me except those who are grieved by me?
riversident@2Corinthians:2:3 @ I am writing this very thing so that I may not come and have grief from those who ought to make me glad, for I am confident in regard to all of you that my joy is yours.
riversident@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For out of great distress and pain of heart I am writing with many tears, not that you may be grieved, but that you may know the love that I have beyond measure for you.
riversident@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one has caused grief, he has grieved not me, but to some extent \'97 not to be too severe \'97 all of you.
riversident@2Corinthians:2:6 @ Sufficient for such a one is this punishment by the majority,
riversident@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and encourage him, that such a one may not be swallowed up in excessive grief.
riversident@2Corinthians:2:8 @ Therefore I beg you to assure him of your love.
riversident@2Corinthians:2:9 @ Because for this purpose I am writing, that I may know your tested character, whether you are obedient in everything.
riversident@2Corinthians:2:10 @ To whomever you forgive anything I also forgive it, and what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it was for your sake in the sight of Christ,
riversident@2Corinthians:2:11 @ that Satan may not take advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his purposes.
riversident@2Corinthians:2:12 @ When I came to Troas for the good news of Christ and a door had been opened for me in the Lord,
riversident@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I had no rest in my spirit because I did not find Titus my brother, but bidding them farewell I came away to Macedonia.
riversident@2Corinthians:2:14 @ Thanks be to God who always leads us in his triumph in Christ and spreads through us the sweet odor of the knowledge of him in every place.
riversident@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are for God a sweet odor of Christ \'97 in the saved and in the perishing.
riversident@2Corinthians:2:16 @ To the latter an odor from death to death, to the former an odor from life to life. And who is competent for this?
riversident@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like the most, adulterating the message of God for gain, but in sincerity, as from God, in the presence of God, we speak in Christ.
