2 Cor. 2:1‑3:18• 1But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
 2For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
 3And I wrote this same unto you, 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.
 4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
 5But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
 6Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
 7So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
 8Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
 9For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
 10To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;

 14Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.
 15For we are unto God a sweet savor of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
 16To the one we are the savor of death unto death; and to the other the savor of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
 17For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
 1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
 2Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
 3Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the 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 fleshy tables of the heart.
 4And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
 5Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
 6Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
 7But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
 8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
 9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
 10For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
 11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
 12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
 13And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
 14But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
 15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
 16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
 17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
 18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. (2 Cor. 2:1‑3:18)
;
2 Cor. 10:2,6‑11• 2But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
 6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
 7Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.
 8For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
 9That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
 10For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
 11Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present. (2 Cor. 10:2,6‑11)
;
2 Cor. 12:20• 20For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: (2 Cor. 12:20)
;
2 Cor. 13:2,10• 2I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

• Desirous of uniting them in love, and in a spirit of meekness, he had deferred his coming till grace had wrought self-judgment. (“Notes on 2 Corinthians 1:21-24” by W. Kelly)
• It was his affection, it was to spare them. He could not bear the idea of going with a rod to those whom he loved. Observe in what manner, although showing his affection and tenderness, he maintains his authority; and they needed the exercise of this authority. (“2 Corinthians 1” by J.N. Darby)
