Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 2
{2:1} But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you
again in sorrow. {2:2} For if I make you sorry, then who will make me
glad but he who is made sorry by me? {2:3} And I wrote this very thing
to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn't have sorrow from them of whom
I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be
shared by all of you. {2:4} For out of much affliction and anguish of
heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made
sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for
you. {2:5} But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to
me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all. {2:6}
Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the
many; {2:7} so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and
comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with
his excessive sorrow. {2:8} Therefore I beg you to confirm your love
toward him. {2:9} For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the
proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things. {2:10} Now I
also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have
forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the
presence of Messiah, {2:11} that no advantage may be gained over us by
Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
{2:12} Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Messiah, and
when a door was opened to me in the Lord, {2:13} I had no relief for
my spirit, because I didn't find Titus, my brother, but taking my
leave of them, I went out into Macedonia. {2:14} Now thanks be to God,
who always leads us in triumph in Messiah, and reveals through us the
sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place. {2:15} For we are a sweet
aroma of Messiah to God, in those who are saved, and in those who
perish; {2:16} to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a
sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
{2:17} For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of
sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Messiah.
