3 And this same I wrote to you; that I may not, when I come, have sorrow upon sorrow, of the which I ought to rejoice: trusting in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.📜💬📚

4 For of much tribulation and anguish of heart I wrote to you by many tears: not that you should be made sorry; but that you may know what charity I have more aboundantly toward you.📜💬📚

5 And if any man hath made sorrowful, not me hath he made sorrowful, but in part, that I burden not all you.📜💬📚

6 To him that is such a one, this rebuke sufficeth that is given of many:📜💬📚

7 so that contrarywise you should rather pardon and comfort him, lest perhaps such an one be swallowed up with over great sorrow.📜💬📚

8 For the which cause I beseech you that you confirm charity toward him.📜💬📚

9 For therefore also have I written that I may know the experiment of you, whether in all things you be obedient.📜💬📚

10 And whom you have pardoned any thing, I also. For, my self also that which I pardoned, if I pardoned any thing, for you in the person of Christ,📜💬📚

11 that we be not circummvented of Satan. For we are not ignorant of his cogitations.📜💬📚

Triumph in Christ

12 And when I was come to Troas for the Gospel of Christ, and a door was opened unto me in our Lord,📜💬📚

13 I had no rest in my spirit, for that I found not Titus my brother, but bidding them fare well, I went forth into Macedonia.📜💬📚

14 And thanks be to God, who always triumpheth us in Christ JESUS, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place.📜💬📚

15 For we are the good odour of Christ unto God in them that are saved, & in them that perish.📜💬📚

16 To some indeed the odour of death unto death: but to others the odour of life unto life. And to these things who is so sufficient?📜💬📚

17 For we are not as very many, adulterating the word of God, but of sincerity, and as of God, before God, in Christ we speak.📜💬📚
