2 Corinthians 2

1But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. 2For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? 3And 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 of you all. 4For 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. 5But if any have caused grief, he has not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. 6Sufficient to such a man this punishment, which of many. 7So that contrariwise ye rather to forgive , and comfort , lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 8therefore I beseech you that ye would confirm love toward him. 9For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. 10To whom ye forgive any thing, I also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave , for your sakes in the person of Messiah; 11Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 12Furthermore, when I came to Troas to Messiah's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, 13I 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. 14Now thanks unto Elohim, which always causeth us to triumph in Messiah, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 15For we are unto Elohim a sweet savour of Messiah, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 16To the one the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who sufficient for these things? 17For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of Elohim: but as of sincerity, but as of Elohim, in the sight of Elohim speak we in Messiah.
