THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 2

Text size

1 But I determined this with myself that I would not come again to you in heaviness ⚑

2 For if I make you sorry who is he then that maketh me glad but the same which is made sorry by me ⚑

3 And 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 ⚑

4 For 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 ⚑

5 But if any have caused grief he hath not grieved me but in part that I may not overcharge you all ⚑

6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment which was inflicted of many ⚑

7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him and comfort him lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow ⚑

8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him ⚑

9 For to this end also did I write that I might know the proof of you whether ye be obedient in all things ⚑

10 To 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 ⚑

11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us for we are not ignorant of his devices ⚑

12 Furthermore when I came to Troas to preach hrist’s gospel and a door was opened unto me of the Lord ⚑

13 I 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 ⚑

14 Now 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 ⚑

15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ in them that are saved and in them that perish ⚑

16 To 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 ⚑

17 For 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 ⚑
