2 Corinthians 2

1 Having shewed the reason why he came not to them, 6 he requireth them to forgive and to comfort that excommunicated person, 10 even as himself also upon his true repentance had forgiven him: 12 declaring withal why he departeth from Troas to Macedonia, 14 and the happy success which God gave to his preaching in all places.

 2:1 ¶ But 1161 I determined 2919 z5656 this 5124 with myself, 1683 that I would y2064 z0 not 3361 come 2064 z5629 again 3825 to 4314 you 5209 in 1722 heaviness. 3077

 2:2 For 1063 if 1487 I 1473 make y3076 z0 you y5209 sorry, y3076 z5719 x2076 x5209 who y5101 x510 x2532 is x2076 he y2076 z5748 then y2532 that maketh y2165 z0 me y3165 glad, 2165 z5723 x3165 but 1508 the same which is made sorry 3076 z5746 by 1537 me? 1700

 2:3 And 2532 I wrote 1125 z5656 this 5124 same 846 unto you, 5213 lest, 3363 when I came, 2064 z5631 I should have 2192 z5725 sorrow 3077 from 575 them of whom 3739 I 3165 ought 1163 z5713 to rejoice; 5463 z5721 having confidence 3982 z5756 in 1909 you 5209 all, 3956 that 3754 my 1699 joy 5479 is 2076 z5748 [the joy] of you 5216 all. 3956

 2:4 For 1063 out of 1537 much 4183 affliction 2347 and 2532 anguish 4928 of heart 2588 I wrote 1125 z5656 unto you 5213 with 1223 many 4183 tears; 1144 not 3756 that 2443 ye should be grieved, 3076 z5686 but 235 that 2443 ye might know 1097 z5632 the x3588 love 26 which 3739 I have 2192 z5719 more abundantly 4056 unto 1519 you. 5209

 2:5 But 1161 if x1487 any y1536 x5100 have caused grief, 3076 z5758 he hath y3076 z0 not 3756 grieved 3076 z5758 me, 1691 but 235 in y575 part: 3313 x575 that y3363 z0 x2443 I may y1912 z0 not y3363 x3361 overcharge 1912 z5725 you 5209 all. 3956

 2:6 Sufficient 2425 to such a man 5108 [is] this 3778 punishment, 2009 which 3588 [was inflicted] of 5259 many. 4119

 2:7 So y5620 that x5620 contrariwise 5121 ye 5209 [ought] rather 3123 to forgive 5483 z5664 [him], and 2532 comfort 3870 z5658 [him], lest 3381 perhaps y4458 such a one 5108 should be swallowed up 2666 z5686 with overmuch 4055 sorrow. 3077

 2:8 Wherefore 1352 I beseech 3870 z5719 you 5209 that ye would confirm 2964 z5658 [your] love 26 toward 1519 him. 846

 2:9 For 1063 to 1519 this end 5124 also 2532 did I write, 1125 z5656 that 2443 I might know 1097 z5632 the x3588 proof 1382 of you, 5216 whether 1487 ye be 2075 z5748 obedient 5255 in 1519 all things. 3956

 2:10 1161 To whom 3739 ye forgive 5483 z5736 any thing, 5100 I 1473 [forgive] also: 2532 for 1063 y2532 if I y1473 forgave y5483 z5766 any thing, 1536 x1473 x5483 x2532 to whom 3739 I forgave 5483 z5766 [it], for your sakes 1223 5209 [forgave I it] in 1722 the person 4383 of Christ; 5547

 2:11 Lest 3363 Satan 4567 y5259 should get an advantage x4122 of us: y4122 z5686 for 1063 we are not y3756 ignorant 50 z5719 x3756 of his 846 devices. 3540

 2:12 Furthermore, y1161 when I came 2064 z5631 to 1519 Troas 5174 to 1519 [preach] Christ's 5547 gospel, 2098 and 2532 a door 2374 was opened 455 z5772 unto me 3427 of 1722 the Lord, 2962

 2:13 I had 2192 z5758 no 3756 rest 425 in my 3450 spirit, 4151 because I 3165 found 2147 z5629 not 3361 Titus 5103 my 3450 brother: 80 but 235 taking my leave 657 z5671 of them, 846 I went from thence 1831 z5627 into 1519 Macedonia. 3109

 2:14 Now 1161 thanks 5485 [be] unto God, 2316 which always y3842 causeth y2358 z0 us y2248 to triumph 2358 z5723 x3842 x2248 in 1722 Christ, 5547 and 2532 maketh manifest 5319 z5723 the x3588 savour 3744 of his y846 x848 knowledge 1108 by 1223 us 2257 in 1722 every 3956 place. 5117

 2:15 For 3754 we are 2070 z5748 unto God 2316 a sweet savour 2175 of Christ, 5547 in 1722 them that are saved, 4982 z5746 and 2532 in 1722 them that perish: 622 z5730

 2:16 To y3739 the one 3303 x3739 [we are] the savour 3744 of death 2288 unto 1519 death; 2288 and 1161 to the other 3739 the savour 3744 of life 2222 unto 1519 life. 2222 And 2532 who 5101 [is] sufficient 2425 for 4314 these things? 5023

 2:17 For 1063 we are 2070 z5748 not 3756 as 5613 many, 4183 which corrupt 2585 z5723 the x3588 word y3056 x3588 of God: 2316 but 235 as 5613 of 1537 sincerity, 1505 but 235 as 5613 of 1537 God, 2316 in the sight 2714 of God 2316 speak x2980 we y2980 z5719 in 1722 Christ. 5547
