2 Corinthians 2 — Context

3

And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

4

For out of much trouble and pain of heart and much weeping I sent my letter to you; not to give you sorrow, but so that you might see how great is the love which I have to you.

5

But if anyone has been a cause of sorrow, he has been so, not to me only, but in some measure to all of you (I say this that I may not be over-hard on you).

6

Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him;

7

So that now, on the other hand, it is right for him to have forgiveness and comfort from you, for fear that his sorrow may be over-great.

8

For which cause my desire is that you will make your love to him clear by your acts.

9

And for the same reason I sent you a letter so that I might be certain of your desire to do my orders in all things.
