2 Corinthians 2:7-17
-
7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
-
8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
-
9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
-
10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
-
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
-
12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
-
13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
-
14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
-
15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
-
16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
-
17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
