2 Corinthians 2 — TNT
2Verse 1But I determened this in my silfe that I wolde not come agayne to you in hevines.Verse 2For yf I make you sorye who is it that shuld make me glad but the same which is made sory by me?Verse 3And I wrote this same pistle vnto you lest yf I came I shuld take hevynes of them of whom I ought to reioyce. Certaynly this confidence have I in you all that my ioye is the ioye of you all.Verse 4For in great affliccion and anguysshe of hert I wrote vnto you with many teares: not to make you sory but that ye myght perceave the love which I have most specially vnto you.Verse 5If eny man hath caused sorow the same hath not made me sory but partely: lest I shuld greve you all.Verse 6It is sufficient vnto the same man that he was rebuked of many. So that now contrary wyse ye ought to forgeve him and comforte him:Verse 7lest that same persone shuld be swalowed vp with over moche hevines.Verse 8Wherfore I exhorte you that love maye have stregth over him.Verse 9For this cause verely dyd I write that I myght knowe the profe of you whether ye shuld be obediet in all thinges.Verse 10To whom ye forgeve enythinge I forgeve also. And verely if I forgeve enythinge to whom I forgave it for youre sakes forgave I it in the roume of ChristVerse 11lest Satan shuld prevet vs. For his thoughtes are not vnknowen vnto vs.Verse 12When I was come to Troada for Christes gospels sake (and a great dore was openned vnto me of the Lorde)Verse 13I had no rest in my sprete because I founde not Titus my brother: but toke my leave of them and went awaye into Macedonia.Verse 14Thankes be vnto God which alwayes geveth vs the victorie in Christ and openeth the saver of his knowledge by vs in every place.Verse 15For we are vnto God the swete savoure of Christ both amonge them that are saved and also amonge them which perisshe.Verse 16To the one parte are we the savoure of deeth vnto deeth. And vnto the other parte are we the savoure of lyfe vnto lyfe. And who is mete vnto these thinges?Verse 17For we are not as many are which choppe and chaunge with the worde of God: but even oute of purenes and by the power of God and in the sight of God so speake we in Christ.
