2 Corinthians 2 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

2Co 2:1But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
2Co 2:2For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?
2Co 2:3And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn't have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.
2Co 2:4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
2Co 2:5But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
2Co 2:6Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
2Co 2:7so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
2Co 2:8Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.
2Co 2:9For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
2Co 2:10Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Messiah,
2Co 2:11that no advantage may be gained over us by Hasatan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
2Co 2:12Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Messiah, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
2Co 2:13I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn't find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
2Co 2:14Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Messiah, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
2Co 2:15For we are a sweet aroma of Messiah to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
2Co 2:16to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
2Co 2:17For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Messiah.
