;

;

;
1 Thess. 2:5• 5For neither at any time were we with speech of flattery, as ye know, nor with a cloke of covetousness, God [is] witness; (1 Thess. 2:5)
that.
2 Cor. 2:1‑3:18• 1But I judged this for myself not to come again unto you in grief.
 2For if I grieve you, who then [is] he that gladdeneth me, if not he that is grieved by me?
 3And I wrote this very thing, that I might not on coming have grief from those from whom I ought to have joy, having trust in you all that my joy is [that] of you all.
 4For out of much tribulation and distress of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that ye should be grieved, but that ye may know the love that I have very abundantly unto you.
 5But if anyone hath grieved, he hath grieved not me, but in part (that I may not press heavily) all of you.
 6Sufficient to such an one [is] this rebuke, which [is] by the many;
 7so that, on the contrary, ye should rather forgive and comfort, lest somehow such an one be swallowed up with excessive grief.
 8Wherefore I exhort you to ratify love toward him.
 9For I wrote also for this, and that I might know the proof of you, whether as to all things ye are obedient.
 10But to whom ye forgive anything, I also; for I too, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, [do so] for your sake in Christ's person,
 11that we might not be overreached by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his devices.
 12Now when I came unto the Troad for the gospel of Christ, a door being opened to me in [the] Lord,
 13I had no rest in my spirit at not finding Titus, my brother; but, having taken leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.
 14But thanks [be] to God that always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the odour of his knowledge through us in every place.
 15Because we are a sweet odour of Christ to God in those to be saved, and in those that perish:
 16to the one an odour from death unto death, but to the others an odour from life unto life; and who [is] sufficient for these things?
 17For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, before God, we speak in Christ.
 1Begin we again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some, recommendatory epistles unto you or from you?
 2Ye are our epistle inscribed in our hearts, known and read by all men,
 3being manifested that ye are Christ's epistle ministered by us, having been inscribed, not with ink, but [the] Spirit of [the] living God, not on tables of stone, but on fleshy tables of [the] heart.
 4And such confidence have we through the Christ toward God;
 5not that we are competent from ourselves to reckon anything as of ourselves, but our competency [is] of God,
 6who also made us competent [as] servants of a new covenant, not of letter but of spirit, for the letter killeth but the spirit quickeneth.
 7(But if the ministry of death in letter, graven on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently toward the face of Moses for the glory of his face, that was to be done away,
 8how shall not the ministry of the Spirit rather be in glory?
 9For if the ministry of condemnation [have] glory, much more doth the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.
 10For even that which hath been glorified hath not been glorified in this respect on account of the surpassing glory.
 11For if that to be done away [was] with glory, much more what abideth [is] in glory.
 12Having then such hope we use much openness of speech:
 13and not as Moses used to put a veil on his own face, that the sons of Israel should not look stedfastly unto the end of that to be done away.
 14But their thoughts were darkened; for until this very day the same veil at the reading of the old covenant abideth unlifted, which in Christ is done away.
 15But unto this day, when Moses is being read, a veil lieth upon their heart.
 16But whenever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken off.)
 17Now the Lord is the spirit, but where the Spirit of the Lord [is, there is] liberty;
 18but we all, beholding the glory of the Lord with unveiled face, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from [the] Lord [the] Spirit. (2 Cor. 2:1‑3:18)
;
2 Cor. 10:2,6‑11• 2but I beseech that I present may not be bold with the confidence with which I think to be daring against some that think of us as walking according to flesh.
 6and being ready to avenge every disobedience when your obedience shall have been fulfilled.
 7Do ye look on things according to appearance? If anyone hath trust in himself that he is of Christ, let him of himself consider this again, that even as he [is] of Christ, so also we.
 8For even if I should boast somewhat more abundantly of our authority which the Lord gave for building up and not for your overthrowing, I shall not be ashamed;
 9that I seem not as it were to terrify you by letters:
 10because his letters, saith one, [are] weighty and strong, but the presence of the body weak and the speech contemptible.
 11Let such an one consider this, that such as we are in word by letters when absent, such also in deed when present. (2 Cor. 10:2,6‑11)
;
2 Cor. 12:20• 20For I fear lest by any means on coming I find you not such as I wish, and I be found by you such as ye wish not; lest by any means [there be] strife, jealousy, wraths, feuds, slanderings, whisperings, swellings, confusions; (2 Cor. 12:20)
;
2 Cor. 13:2,10• 2I have foretold and foretell, as if present the second [time] and now absent, to them that have sinned before and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare.
 10For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal severely according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for casting down. (2 Cor. 13:2,10)
;
1 Cor. 4:21• 21What will ye? that I come unto you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of meekness? (1 Cor. 4:21)
;
1 Cor. 5:5• 5to deliver such an one to Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. (1 Cor. 5:5)
;
1 Tim. 1:20• 20of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may be taught not to blaspheme. (1 Tim. 1:20)
• 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)
