# ***2 CORINTHIANS 2***

---

\[1\] For I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you. \[2\] For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained? \[3\] And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all. \[4\] For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

*Forgive the Sinner*

\[5\] Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you. \[6\] For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough, \[7\] so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. \[8\] So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him. \[9\] For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything. \[10\] Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, \[11\] so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.

*Triumph in Christ*

\[12\] When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord, \[13\] my spirit was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia.

\[14\] But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. \[15\] For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, \[16\] to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? \[17\] For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ. (ESV)
