2 Corinthians 2:1-11
Reaffirm Your Love

1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

1:

2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?

2:

3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is [the joy] of you all.

3:

4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

4:

5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

5:

6 Sufficient to such a man [is] this punishment, which [was inflicted] of many.

6:

7 So that contrariwise ye [ought] rather to forgive [him], and comfort [him], lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

7:

8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm [your] love toward him.

8:

9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

9:

10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I [forgive] also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave [it], for your sakes [forgave I it] in the person of Christ;

10:

11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

11:
