2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 2
2Co_2:1-5 Paul, having shown a motive of tenderness for not
coming to Corinth, as also for writing his former Epistle,
2Co_2:6-9 declareth himself satisfied with the censure inflicted
on the incestuous person, and desireth them to forgive
and comfort him,
2Co_2:10,11 as he himself had forgiven him in Christ’s name.
2Co_2:12,13 His uneasiness for not finding Titus at Troas had
caused him to go forthwith into Macedonia.
2Co_2:14-16 He blesseth God for the successfulness of his labours
every where,
2Co_2:17 professing his sincerity and disinterestedness before God.
One reason why I put off my formerly intended journey to you, was, that I might give you time to repent, and reform those disorders that were amongst you, that my coming to you might neither cause heaviness in you, seeing me come with a rod, to chide and reprove you; nor yet in myself, who do not delight in censures and chidings, but must myself have been sad to have seen such errors and disorders amongst you, as I must by my paternal and apostolical authority have corrected.
