NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

2 Corinthians 2

Reaffirm Your Love

1

But I determinedg2919 thisg3778  1for my owng1683 sakeg1683, that I  awould not comeg2064 to you in sorrowg3077 againg3825.

2

For ifg1487 I  acauseg3076 you sorrowg3076, whog5101 theng2532 makesg2165 me gladg2165 but the one whom I madeg3076 sorrowfulg3076?

3

Thisg3778 is the veryg846 thingg846 I  awroteg1125 you, sog2443g3361 that  bwhen I cameg2064, I would not haveg2192 sorrowg3077 from those whog3739 oughtg1163 to makeg1163 me rejoiceg5463; havingg3982  cconfidenceg3982 in you allg3956 that my joyg5479 would be the joy of you allg3956.

4

For out of muchg4183 afflictiong2347 and anguishg4928 of heartg2588 I  awroteg1125 to you with manyg4183 tearsg1144; not sog2443 that you would be madeg3076 sorrowfulg3076, but that you might knowg1097 the loveg26 whichg3739 I haveg2192 especiallyg4053 for you.

5

But  aifg1487 anyg5100 has causedg3076 sorrowg3076, he has causedg3076 sorrowg3076 not to me, but in someg3313 degreeg3313-- 1in orderg2443 not to sayg1912 toog1912 muchg1912--to allg3956 of you.

6

Sufficientg2425 for suchg5108 a oneg5108 is  athisg3778 punishmentg2009 which was inflicted by the majorityg4183,

7

sog5620 that on the contraryg5121 you should ratherg3123  aforgiveg5483 and comfortg3870 him, otherwiseg3381 suchg5108 a oneg5108 might be overwhelmedg2666 by excessiveg4053 sorrowg3077.

8

Whereforeg1352 I urgeg3870 you to reaffirmg2964 your loveg26 for him.

9

For to thisg3778 end alsog2532  aI wroteg1125, sog2443 that I might  1 bputg1097 you to the testg1382, whetherg1487 you are  cobedientg5255 in allg3956 thingsg3956.

10

But oneg5100 whomg3739 you forgiveg5483 anythingg5100, I forgive alsog2532; for indeedg2532 whatg3739 I have forgiveng5483, ifg1487 I have forgiveng5483 anythingg5100, I did it for your sakesg1223  ain the presenceg4383 of Christg5547,

11

sog2443 that nog3361 advantageg4122 would be takeng4122 of us by  aSatang4567, for  bwe are not ignorantg50 of his schemesg3540.

12

Nowg1161 when I cameg2064 to  aTroasg5174 for the  bgospelg2098 of Christg5547 and when a  cdoorg2374 was openedg455 for me in the Lordg2962,

13

I  ahadg2192 nog3756 restg425 for my spiritg4151, not findingg2147  bTitusg5103 my brotherg80; but  ctakingg657 my leaveg657 of them, I wentg1831 on to  dMacedoniag3109.

14

 aBut thanksg5485 be to Godg2316, who alwaysg3842  bleadsg2358 us in triumphg2358 in Christg5547, and manifestsg5319 throughg1223 us the  csweetg3744 aromag3744 of the  dknowledgeg1108 of Him in everyg3956 placeg5117.

15

For we are a  afragranceg2175 of Christg5547 to Godg2316 amongg1722  bthoseg3588 who are being savedg4982 and amongg1722 thoseg3588 who are perishingg622;

16

 ato the oneg3739g3303a an aromag3744 from deathg2288 to deathg2288, to the otherg3739 an aromag3744 from lifeg2222 to lifeg2222. And whog5101 is  badequateg2425 for theseg3778 thingsg3778?

17

For we are not likeg5613 manyg4183,  1 apeddlingg2585 the wordg3056 of Godg2316, but  bas from sincerityg1505, but as from Godg2316, we speakg2980 in Christg5547  cin the sightg2713 of Godg2316.
