King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. But[G1161] I determined[G2919] this[G5124] with myself,[G1683] that I would not[G3361] come[G2064] again[G3825] to[G4314] you[G5209] in[G1722] heaviness.[G3077]

2. For[G1063] if[G1487] I[G1473] make you sorry,[G3076] [G5209] who[G5101] [G2532] is[G2076] he then that maketh me glad,[G2165] [G3165] but[G1508] the same which is made sorry[G3076] by[G1537] me?[G1700]

3. And[G2532] I wrote[G1125] this[G5124] same[G846] unto you,[G5213] lest,[G3363] when I came,[G2064] I should have[G2192] sorrow[G3077] from[G575] them of whom[G3739] I[G3165] ought[G1163] to rejoice;[G5463] having confidence[G3982] in[G1909] you[G5209] all,[G3956] that[G3754] my[G1699] joy[G5479] is[G2076] the joy of you[G5216] all.[G3956]

4. For[G1063] out of[G1537] much[G4183] affliction[G2347] and[G2532] anguish[G4928] of heart[G2588] I wrote[G1125] unto you[G5213] with[G1223] many[G4183] tears;[G1144] not[G3756] that[G2443] ye should be grieved,[G3076] but[G235] that[G2443] ye might know[G1097] the[G3588] love[G26] which[G3739] I have[G2192] more abundantly[G4056] unto[G1519] you.[G5209]

5. But[G1161] if[G1487] any[G5100] have caused grief,[G3076] he hath not[G3756] grieved[G3076] me,[G1691] but[G235] in part:[G575] [G3313] that[G2443] I may not[G3361] overcharge[G1912] you[G5209] all.[G3956]

6. Sufficient[G2425] to such a man[G5108] is this[G3778] punishment,[G2009] which[G3588] was inflicted of[G5259] many.[G4119]

7. So that[G5620] contrariwise[G5121] ye[G5209] ought rather[G3123] to forgive[G5483] him, and[G2532] comfort[G3870] him, lest[G3381] perhaps such a one[G5108] should be swallowed up[G2666] with overmuch[G4055] sorrow.[G3077]

8. Wherefore[G1352] I beseech[G3870] you[G5209] that ye would confirm[G2964] your love[G26] toward[G1519] him.[G846]

9. For[G1063] to[G1519] this end[G5124] also[G2532] did I write,[G1125] that[G2443] I might know[G1097] the[G3588] proof[G1382] of you,[G5216] whether[G1487] ye be[G2075] obedient[G5255] in[G1519] all things.[G3956]

10. [G1161] To whom[G3739] ye forgive[G5483] any thing,[G5100] I[G1473] forgive also:[G2532] for[G1063] if I forgave any thing,[G1536] [G1473] [G5483] [G2532] to whom[G3739] I forgave[G5483] it, for your sakes[G1223] [G5209] forgave I it in[G1722] the person[G4383] of Christ;[G5547]

11. Lest[G3363] Satan[G4567] should get an advantage[G4122] of us: for[G1063] we are not ignorant[G50] [G3756] of his[G846] devices.[G3540]

12. Furthermore, when I came[G2064] to[G1519] Troas[G5174] to[G1519] preach Christ's[G5547] gospel,[G2098] and[G2532] a door[G2374] was opened[G455] unto me[G3427] of[G1722] the Lord,[G2962]

13. I had[G2192] no[G3756] rest[G425] in my[G3450] spirit,[G4151] because I[G3165] found[G2147] not[G3361] Titus[G5103] my[G3450] brother:[G80] but[G235] taking my leave[G657] of them,[G846] I went from thence[G1831] into[G1519] Macedonia.[G3109]

14. Now[G1161] thanks[G5485] be unto God,[G2316] which always causeth us to triumph[G2358] [G3842] [G2248] in[G1722] Christ,[G5547] and[G2532] maketh manifest[G5319] the[G3588] savor[G3744] of his[G848] knowledge[G1108] by[G1223] us[G2257] in[G1722] every[G3956] place.[G5117]

15. For[G3754] we are[G2070] unto God[G2316] a sweet savor[G2175] of Christ,[G5547] in[G1722] them that are saved,[G4982] and[G2532] in[G1722] them that perish: [G622]

16. To the one[G3739] [G3303] we are the savor[G3744] of death[G2288] unto[G1519] death;[G2288] and[G1161] to the other[G3739] the savor[G3744] of life[G2222] unto[G1519] life.[G2222] And[G2532] who[G5101] is sufficient[G2425] for[G4314] these things?[G5023]

17. For[G1063] we are[G2070] not[G3756] as[G5613] many,[G4183] which corrupt[G2585] the[G3588] word[G3056] of God:[G2316] but[G235] as[G5613] of[G1537] sincerity,[G1505] but[G235] as[G5613] of[G1537] God,[G2316] in the sight[G2714] of God[G2316] speak[G2980] we in[G1722] Christ.[G5547]
