The King James Version Bible

2 Corinthians 2:4-7

  1. For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

  2. But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

  3. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.

  4. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
