Sha'ul�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 is of
you all. {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 Hasatan; 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 forth into Macedonia.
{2:14} But 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.
