2 Corinthians 2 But I determined this with myself , that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G1161 But G2919 I determined [G5656] G5124 this G1683 with myself G2064 , that I would G3361 not G2064 come [G5629] G3825 again G4314 to G5209 you G1722 in G3077 heaviness.

2 G1063 For G1487 if G1473 I G3076 make G5209 you G3076 sorry [G5719] G5101 , who G2076 is he [G5748] G2532 then G2165 that maketh G3165 me G2165 glad [G5723] G1508 , but G3076 the same which is made sorry [G5746] G1537 by G1700 me?

3 G2532 And G1125 I wrote [G5656] G5124 this G846 same G5213 unto you G3363 , lest G2064 , when I came [G5631] G2192 , I should have [G5725] G3077 sorrow G575 from G3739 them of whom G3165 I G1163 ought [G5713] G5463 to rejoice [G5721] G3982 ; having confidence [G5756] G1909 in G5209 you G3956 all G3754 , that G1699 my G5479 joy G2076 is [G5748] G5216 the joy of you G3956 all.

4 G1063 For G1537 out of G4183 much G2347 affliction G2532 and G4928 anguish G2588 of heart G1125 I wrote [G5656] G5213 unto you G1223 with G4183 many G1144 tears G3756 ; not G2443 that G3076 ye should be grieved [G5686] G235 , but G2443 that G1097 ye might know [G5632] G26 the love G3739 which G2192 I have [G5719] G4056 more abundantly G1519 unto G5209 you.

5 G1161 But G1536 if any G3076 have caused grief [G5758] G3076 , he hath G3756 not G3076 grieved [G5758] G1691 me G235 , but G575 in G3313 part G3363 : that G1912 I may G3363 not G1912 overcharge [G5725] G5209 you G3956 all.

6 G2425 Sufficient G5108 to such a man G3778 is this G2009 punishment G3588 , which G5259 was inflicted of G4119 many.

7 G5620 So G5121 that contrariwise G5209 ye G3123 ought rather G5483 to forgive [G5664] G2532 him, and G3870 comfort [G5658] G3381 him, lest G4458 perhaps G5108 such a one G2666 should be swallowed up [G5686] G4055 with overmuch G3077 sorrow.

8 G1352 Wherefore G3870 I beseech [G5719] G5209 you G2964 that ye would confirm [G5658] G26 your love G1519 toward G846 him.

9 G1063 For G1519 to G5124 this end G2532 also G1125 did I write [G5656] G2443 , that G1097 I might know [G5632] G1382 the proof G5216 of you G1487 , whether G2075 ye be [G5748] G5255 obedient G1519 in G3956 all things.

10 G1161 G3739 To whom G5483 ye forgive [G5736] G5100 any thing G1473 , I G2532 forgive also G2532 : for G1063 G1473 if I G5483 forgave [G5766] G1536 any thing G3739 , to whom G5483 I forgave [G5766] G1223 it, for your sakes G5209 G1722 forgave I it in G4383 the person G5547 of Christ;

11 G3363 Lest G5259 Satan G4567 G4122 should get an advantage of us [G5686] G1063 : for G3756 we are not G50 ignorant [G5719] G846 of his G3540 devices.

12 G1161 Furthermore G2064 , when I came [G5631] G1519 to G5174 Troas G1519 to G5547 preach Christ's G2098 gospel G2532 , and G2374 a door G455 was opened [G5772] G3427 unto me G1722 of G2962 the Lord,

13 G2192 I had [G5758] G3756 no G425 rest G3450 in my G4151 spirit G3165 , because I G2147 found [G5629] G3361 not G5103 Titus G3450 my G80 brother G235 : but G657 taking my leave [G5671] G846 of them G1831 , I went from thence [G5627] G1519 into G3109 Macedonia.

14 G1161 Now G5485 thanks G2316 be unto God G3842 , which always G2358 causeth G2248 us G2358 to triumph [G5723] G1722 in G5547 Christ G2532 , and G5319 maketh manifest [G5723] G3744 the savour G846 of his G1108 knowledge G1223 by G2257 us G1722 in G3956 every G5117 place.

15 G3754 For G2070 we are [G5748] G2316 unto God G2175 a sweet savour G5547 of Christ G1722 , in G4982 them that are saved [G5746] G2532 , and G1722 in G622 them that perish [G5730] :

16 G3739 To G3303 the one G3744 we are the savour G2288 of death G1519 unto G2288 death G1161 ; and G3739 to the other G3744 the savour G2222 of life G1519 unto G2222 life G2532 . And G5101 who G2425 is sufficient G4314 for G5023 these things?

17 G1063 For G2070 we are [G5748] G3756 not G5613 as G4183 many G2585 , which corrupt [G5723] G3056 the word G2316 of God G235 : but G5613 as G1537 of G1505 sincerity G235 , but G5613 as G1537 of G2316 God G2714 , in the sight G2316 of God G2980 speak we [G5719] G1722 in G5547 Christ.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow. ² For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad, but he that is made sorry by me? ³ And I wrote this very thing, 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 [the joy] of you all. ⁴ For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. ⁵ But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all. ⁶ Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was [inflicted] by the many; ⁷ so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow. ⁸ Wherefore I beseech you to confirm [your] love toward him. ⁹ For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things. ¹⁰ But to whom ye forgive anything, I [forgive] also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes [have I forgiven it] in the person of Christ; ¹¹ that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices. ¹² Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord, ¹³ I had no relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia. ¹⁴ But thanks be unto God, which always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savour of his knowledge in every place. ¹⁵ For we are a sweet savour of Christ unto God, in them that are being saved, and in them that are perishing; ¹⁶ to the one a savour from death unto death; to the other a savour from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? ¹⁷ For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.
