AI-assisted, sourced2 Corinthians 2:5-11Forgive the one who was punished
About 2 Corinthians 2Paul says he decided not to come to them "again... in heaviness," and that he wrote "out of much affliction and anguish of heart... with many tears," so that they "might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you." The man who had been punished "of many" should now be forgiven and comforted, "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us." Paul tells how he found no rest at Troas because he did not find Titus, and then gives thanks to God, "which always causeth us to triumph in Christ." 2 Corinthians 2:12 Corinthians 2:42 Corinthians 2:62 Corinthians 2:72 Corinthians 2:112 Corinthians 2:122 Corinthians 2:132 Corinthians 2:14
