## 2 Corinthians 2:1-3 in Context (Verses 1–6 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/2/1) But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/2/2) For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
 
 [3 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/2/3) And 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.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/2/4) For 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.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/2/5) But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/2/6) Sufficient to such a man *is* this punishment, which *was inflicted* of many.
 
[2 Corinthians 1](/kjv/2-corinthians/1) [2 Corinthians 3](/kjv/2-corinthians/3)
