Chapter 2
2nd Corinthians
2:1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you* in heaviness.
2:2 For if I make you* sorry, who is he then who makes me glad, but the same who is made sorry by me?
2:3 And I wrote this same to you*, lest, coming I should have sorrow from those by whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you* all, that my joy is the joy 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 grieved, but that you* might know the love which I have more abundantly for you*.
2:5 But if any has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but in part: so that I may not overcharge you* all.
2:6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted by many.
2:7 So that on the other hand, you* ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with excessive sorrow.
2:8 Therefore I pray you* that you* would confirm your* love towards him.
2:9 For to this end also I wrote, so that I might know the proof of you*, whether you* are obedient in all things.
2:10 To whom you* forgive anything, I forgive also: for if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave it, for your* sakes I forgave it, in the person of the Messiah;
2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
2:12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of the Messiah, and a door was opened to me by YASHUWAH,
2:13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I went from there into Macedonia.
2:14 Now thanks be to Elohim, who always causes us to triumph in the Messiah, and manifests the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.
2:15 For we are to Elohim a sweet savor of the Messiah, in those who are saved, and in those who perish:
2:16 To the one we are the savor of death to death; and to the other the savor of life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?
2:17 For we are not as many, who corrupt the word of Elohim: but as from sincerity, but as from Elohim, in the sight of Elohim we speak in the Messiah.
