2 Corinthians 2:1-8 ▼

1 But I determined this in my selfe, yt I would not come againe to you in heauynesse.

2 For if I make you sorie, who is he yt shoulde make me glad, but the same which is made sorie by me?

3 And I wrote this same vnto you, lest when I came, I shoulde take heauynesse of them of whom I ought to reioyce. This confidence haue I toward you all, that my ioy is the ioy of you all.

4 For in great affliction and anguishe of heart, I wrote vnto you with many teares, not that ye shoulde be made sorie, but that ye myght perceaue the loue which I haue, most specially vnto you.

5 But yf any man hath caused sorowe, the same hath not made me sorie, but partly, lest I shoulde greeue you all.

6 It is sufficient vnto the same man that he was rebuked of many.

7 So that nowe contrarywise, ye ought rather to forgeue hym, and comforte hym, lest that same person shoulde be swallowed vp with ouermuche heauynesse.

8 Wherfore I pray you, that you would confirme your loue towardes hym.
