rsv 2Corinthians:2:1-17
rsv@2Corinthians:2:1 @ For I made up my mind not to make you another painful visit.
rsv@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?
rsv@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 felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.
rsv@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.
rsv@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 you all.
rsv@2Corinthians:2:6 @ For such a one this punishment by the majority is enough;
rsv@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
rsv@2Corinthians:2:8 @ So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.
rsv@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.
rsv@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,
rsv@2Corinthians:2:11 @ to keep Satan from gaining the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
rsv@2Corinthians:2:12 @ When I came to Tro'as to preach the gospel of Christ, a door was opened for me in the Lord;
rsv@2Corinthians:2:13 @ but my mind could not rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedo'nia.
rsv@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.
rsv@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,
rsv@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
rsv@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word; but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
