2 Corinthians 2
2
1#2Co 1:23; 1Co 4:21But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you in sorrow. 2#2Co 7:8For if I make you sorrowful, who then will there be to make me rejoice, but the one whom I have made sorrowful? 3#Gal 5:10; 2Co 8:22I wrote concerning this matter to you, so that when I came, I would not be grieved by those in whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you all, that my joy is your joy. 4#2Co 7:12For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have more abundantly for you.
Forgiveness for the Offender
5#Gal 4:12But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but to some extent all of you, not to put it too severely. 6#1Co 5:4–5This punishment which was inflicted by many on such a man is sufficient. 7#Eph 4:32So on the contrary, you ought to forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps he might be swallowed up with excessive sorrow. 8Therefore I ask you to confirm your love toward him. 9#2Co 10:6; Php 2:22For to this end I also wrote, so that I might know that you are proving yourselves by whether you are being obedient in all things. 10#1Co 5:4Whomever you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if I forgave someone anything, for your sakes I forgave it in Christ, 11#1Pe 5:8; Lk 22:31lest Satan should take advantage of us. For we are not ignorant of his devices.
Paul’s Anxiety in Troas
12#Ac 14:27; 16:8Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord, 13#2Co 7:5–6; 12:18I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother. So taking my leave of them, I went from there into Macedonia.
14#SS 1:3; 2Co 8:16Now thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in Christ and through us reveals the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15#1Co 1:18; Eze 20:41For we are to God a sweet fragrance of Christ among those who are saved and among those who perish. 16#Lk 2:34; Jn 9:39To the one we are the fragrance of death, which brings death, and to the other the fragrance of life, which brings life. Who is sufficient for these things? 17#2Co 4:2; 1:12For we are not as many are who peddle the word of God. Instead, being sent by God, we sincerely speak in Christ in the sight of God.
