2 Corinthians 2

1 But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow.2 For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad but he that is made sorry by me?3 And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly unto you.5 But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all.6 Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;7 so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow.8 Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your love toward him.9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things.10 But to whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes have I forgiven it in the presence of Christ;11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.12 Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord,13 I had no relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.14 But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place.15 For we are a sweet savor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish;16 to the one a savor from death unto death; to the other a savor from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?17 For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.

2 Corinthians 3

1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you?2 Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men;3 being made manifest that ye are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in tables that are hearts of flesh.4 And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward:5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.7 But if the ministration of death, written, and engraven on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which glory was passing away:8 how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory?9 For if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.10 For verily that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasseth.11 For if that which passeth away was with glory, much more that which remaineth is in glory.12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,13 and are not as Moses, who put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away:14 but their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth, it not being revealed to them that it is done away in Christ.15 But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart.16 But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.17 Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 4

1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:2 but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish:4 in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them.5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.6 Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;8 we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;9 pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;10 always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.11 For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak;14 knowing that he that raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you.15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God.16 Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.17 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
