2 Corinthians 2 : 1 (ESV)

For I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.

2 Corinthians 2 : 2 (ESV)

For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?

2 Corinthians 2 : 3 (ESV)

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.

2 Corinthians 2 : 4 (ESV)

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.

2 Corinthians 2 : 5 (ESV)

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.

2 Corinthians 2 : 6 (ESV)

For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough,

2 Corinthians 2 : 7 (ESV)

so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

2 Corinthians 2 : 8 (ESV)

So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.

2 Corinthians 2 : 9 (ESV)

For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

2 Corinthians 2 : 10 (ESV)

Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,

2 Corinthians 2 : 11 (ESV)

so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.

2 Corinthians 2 : 12 (ESV)

When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord,

2 Corinthians 2 : 13 (ESV)

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.

2 Corinthians 2 : 14 (ESV)

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.

2 Corinthians 2 : 15 (ESV)

For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,

2 Corinthians 2 : 16 (ESV)

to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

2 Corinthians 2 : 17 (ESV)

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.
