22 Corinthians 2

CHAP. II. / 1 Hauing shewed the reason why he came not to them, 6 Hee requireth them to forgiue and to comfort that excommunicated person, 10 Euen as himselfe also vpon his true repentance had forgiue

1But I determined this with myselfe, that I would not come againe to you in heauiness.Select 2 Corinthians 2:1

2For if I make you sorie, who is hee then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorie by me.Select 2 Corinthians 2:2

3And I wrote this same vnto you, least, when I came, I should haue sorrow from them of whome I ought to reioyce, hauing confidence in you all, that my ioy is the ioy of you all.Select 2 Corinthians 2:3

4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote vnto you with many teares, not that you should bee grieued, but that yee might knowe the loue which I haue more abundantly vnto you.Select 2 Corinthians 2:4

5But if any haue caused griefe, hee hath not grieued mee, but in part: that I may not ouercharge you all.Select 2 Corinthians 2:5

6Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.Select 2 Corinthians 2:6

7So that contrarywise yee ought rather to forgiue him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed vp with ouermuch sorrow.Select 2 Corinthians 2:7

8Wherefore I beseech you, that you would confirme your loue toward him.Select 2 Corinthians 2:8

9For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proofe of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.Select 2 Corinthians 2:9

10To whom yee forgiue any thing, I forgiue also: for if I forgaue any thing, to whom I forgaue it, for your sakes forgaue I it in the person of Christ;Select 2 Corinthians 2:10

11Lest Satan should get an aduantage of vs: for wee are not ignorant of his deuices.Select 2 Corinthians 2:11

12Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christs Gospel, and a doore was opened vnto me of the Lord,Select 2 Corinthians 2:12

13I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother, but taking my leaue of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.Select 2 Corinthians 2:13

14Now thanks bee vnto God, which alwayes causeth vs to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the sauour of his knowledge by vs in euery place.Select 2 Corinthians 2:14

15For we are vnto God, a sweet sauour of Christ, in them that are saued, and in them that perish.Select 2 Corinthians 2:15

16To the one wee are the sauour of death vnto death; and to the other, the sauour of life vnto life: and who is sufficient for these things?Select 2 Corinthians 2:16

17For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sinceritie, but as of God, in the sight of God speake we in Christ.Select 2 Corinthians 2:17
