Not to come in sorrow
2:1-11
2 Cor. 2
:1
2:1
But I
1determined this for myself, that I would not
acome again to you in
bsorrow.
2 Cor. 2
:2
2:2
For if I cause you sorrow, who then is the one who makes me glad, except the one who is made sorrowful by me?
2 Cor. 2
:3
2:3
And I
1awrote this very thing
to you that when I come I would
bnot have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice, having
cconfidence in you all that my joy is
the joy of you all.
2 Cor. 2
:4
2:4
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I
awrote to you through many
btears, not that you would be made sorrowful but that you would know the
clove which I have more abundantly toward you.
2 Cor. 2
:5
2:5
But if anyone has caused
asorrow, he has not caused me to sorrow, but
bin part (lest I
1lay too heavy a burden) all of you.
2 Cor. 2
:6
2:6
Sufficient for such a one is this
apunishment by the majority,
2 Cor. 2
:7
2:7
So that on the contrary you should rather
1aforgive and comfort
him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with excessive sorrow.
2 Cor. 2
:8
2:8
Therefore I exhort you to
1confirm your alove toward him.
2 Cor. 2
:9
2:9
For to this end also I
awrote, that I might
1know your
2approvedness, whether you are
bobedient in all things.
2 Cor. 2
:10
2:10
But whom you
1aforgive anything, I also
forgive; for also what I have
2forgiven, if I have forgiven anything,
it is for your sake in the
3person of Christ;
2 Cor. 2
:11
2:11
That we may not be taken advantage of by
1aSatan, for we are not
bignorant of his
2cschemes.
II.
The ministry of the new covenant
2:12—3:11
A.
Its triumph and effect
2:12-17
2 Cor. 2
:12
2:12
1Furthermore, when I came to
aTroas for the gospel of Christ and a
bdoor was open to me
2in the Lord,
2 Cor. 2
:13
2:13
I had no rest in my
1aspirit, for I did not find
bTitus my brother; but taking leave of them, I went forth into
2cMacedonia.
2 Cor. 2
:14
2:14
But athanks be to God, who always
1leads 2us in
btriumph in
3the Christ and manifests the
4csavor of the
dknowledge of Him through
5us in every place.
2 Cor. 2
:15
2:15
For we
1are a
afragrance of Christ to God in those who are being
bsaved and in those who are
cperishing:
2 Cor. 2
:16
2:16
To some a
asavor out of death
1unto bdeath, and to the others a savor out of life
1unto clife. And who is
2dsufficient for these things?
2 Cor. 2
:17
2:17
For we are not like the many,
1aadulterating the word of God for profit; but as out of
bsincerity, but as out of God, before God we
2speak in Christ.
