2 Corinthians 2 Cross References - Lamsa

¹ BUT I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in sadness. ² For if I make you sad, who can make me happy, but him whom I made sad? ³ And I wrote this same thing to you, so that when I come to you I may not be made sad by those who ought to make me joyful; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. ⁴ For out of great affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote you with many tears; not to make you feel distressed, but that you may know the abundant love I have for you. ⁵ But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me only, but to a certain degree all of you, therefore the news will not be a shock to you. ⁶ The rebuke of many persons is sufficient for such a man. ⁷ So that from henceforth you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one will be overcome with overmuch grief. ⁸ I beseech you therefore that you confirm your love toward him. ⁹ For that is why I wrote you, that I might know by your word whether you are obedient in all things. ¹⁰ To whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for anything which I have forgiven, to whomever I forgave it, it is for your sakes I forgave it in the presence of Christ: ¹¹ Lest Satan might take advantage of us: for we know his devices. ¹² Furthermore, when I came to Troas with the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened to me of the LORD, ¹³ I could not rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; hence I took leave of them, and left for Mac-e-doÆni-a. ¹⁴ Now thanks be to God, who has made us in the pattern of Christ, and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge through us in every place. ¹⁵ For we are a sweet savour to God through Christ, in those who are saved and in those who perish: ¹⁶ To the one the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is worthy of these things? ¹⁷ For we are not like those who corrupt the word of God: but according to the truth, and as men of God we speak through Christ in the sight of God.

⁶ Nevertheless God, who comforts the meek, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

⁶ Nevertheless God, who comforts the meek, comforted us by the coming of Titus; ⁷ And not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, for he brought us the good news concerning your love towards us, your mourning and your zeal on our behalf; and when I heard it, I rejoiced exceedingly. ⁸ For even though I made you feel sorry with the epistle, I do not regret, even though it has caused sorrow: for I can see that though that very epistle has made you feel sorry, the sorrow was only for an hour.

⁸ For even though I made you feel sorry with the epistle, I do not regret, even though it has caused sorrow: for I can see that though that very epistle has made you feel sorry, the sorrow was only for an hour.

⁸ For even though I made you feel sorry with the epistle, I do not regret, even though it has caused sorrow: for I can see that though that very epistle has made you feel sorry, the sorrow was only for an hour. ⁹ But it has made me exceedingly happy, not that you were sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance: for you were sorry over the things of God, so that you lack nothing from us. ¹⁰ For sorrow over the things of God causes enduring repentance of the soul, and brings one to life: but sorrow over the things of the world causes death. ¹¹ For behold that very thing which distressed you on account of God, has resulted much more in painstaking effort, in apology, anger, fear, love, zeal, and vengeance. In all things you have proven yourselves clear in this matter. ¹² Be that as it may, though I wrote to you, I did not do it for the one who had done the wrong nor for the one who had suffered the wrong, but that your painstaking care for us might be known before God.

¹² Be that as it may, though I wrote to you, I did not do it for the one who had done the wrong nor for the one who had suffered the wrong, but that your painstaking care for us might be known before God. ¹³ Therefore we were comforted and with our consolation we rejoiced exceedingly in the joy of Titus, for his spirit was refreshed by you all.

¹³ Therefore we were comforted and with our consolation we rejoiced exceedingly in the joy of Titus, for his spirit was refreshed by you all. ¹⁴ For I was not shamed in the things which I have boasted to him about you; but just as all the things about which we have spoken to you are true, even so our boasting to Titus is found to be true. ¹⁵ And his affections have increased more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him in fear and trembling.

⁶ Insomuch as we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish this same gift among you.

¹⁶ But thanks be to God, who put the same vigorous care into the heart of Titus for you.

²² And we have sent with them also our brother, who has oftentimes been proven by us in many things, that he is earnest, and now is more earnest because of the abundant trust he has in you. ²³ And as to Titus, he is my partner and helper among you: and as to our other brethren, they are the apostles of the churches to the glory of Christ. ²⁴ Henceforth you can shew to them before all the churches the proof of your love and of our pride in you.

¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his incomparable gift.

² For I am zealous for you with the zealousness of God, for I have espoused you to a husband, that I may present you as a pure virgin to Christ. ³ But I am afraid, that just as the serpent through his deceitfulness misled Eve, so your minds should be corrupted from the sincerity that is in Christ.

¹³ For they are false apostles, and deceitful workers, posing as apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ There is no marvel in this; for if Satan disguises himself as the angel of light,

¹⁴ There is no marvel in this; for if Satan disguises himself as the angel of light, ¹⁵ It is no great thing if his ministers also pose as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

²⁹ Who is sick that I do not feel the pain? Who stumbles that does not have my heartfelt sympathy?

¹¹ Behold, I am foolish to boast but you have forced me: for you ought to have testified concerning me: for in no way am I less than those apostles who are highly honored, though I am nothing.

¹⁵ I will gladly pay my expenses, and I will even give myself for the sake of your souls; though the more I love you, the less you love me.

¹⁸ I requested Titus to visit you, and I sent brethren with him. Did Titus extort anything from you? Did we not walk in the same spirit, and did we not walk in the same steps?

²⁰ For I fear, lest when I come to you, I shall not find you such as I wish to find you, and that you also will not find me as you wish to find me: lest there be controversies, envyings, angers, stubbornness, accusations, slanderings, boastings and disorders. ²¹ Perhaps when I come to you, my God will humble me, and I will mourn over many who have sinned, and who have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and lasciviousness which they have committed.

²¹ Perhaps when I come to you, my God will humble me, and I will mourn over many who have sinned, and who have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and lasciviousness which they have committed.

¹⁰ Therefore I write these things while I am far away, so that when I come, I need not deal harshly with you, according to the authority which my LORD has given me, which is for your edification and not for your destruction.

¹ THEN, fourteen years later, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.

³ And Titus, also, who was with me, being Syrian, was not compelled to be circumcised,

¹² My brethren, I beseech you, put yourself in my place; just as once I put myself in your place: You have not offended me at all.

¹⁰ I have confidence in you through our LORD, that you will consider no other beliefs: that he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he is.

¹³ For, my brethren, you have been called unto liberty; only do not use your liberty for an occasion to the things of the flesh, but by love serve one another.

¹ MY brethren, if any one be found at fault, you who are spiritual, restore him in a spirit of meekness; and be careful test you also be tempted. ² Bear one anotherÆs burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who belong to the household of faith.

³² And be kind one to another and tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God has forgiven us through Christ.

² And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and has given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet example.

²⁰ Giving thanks always for all men to God the Father in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ.

¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For your conflict is not only with flesh and blood, but also with the angels, and with powers, with the rulers of this world of darkness, and with the evil spirits under the heavens.

¹² From now on, my beloved, just as you have always been obedient, not only in my presence, but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

²² But you know his record, that as a son with his father, he has served with me in the gospel.

²⁷ For indeed he was sick to the point of death but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

¹⁸ For there are many who live otherwise, of whom I have often told you, and now I tell you with tears that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ;

¹⁸ I have received everything I need, and it is more than enough: I am satisfied, having received everything you sent me by Epaphroditus, and it was welcome as a fragrant perfume and a sacrifice acceptable and well pleasing to God.

⁶ Which has been preached to you, just as it has been preached throughout the world; growing and bringing forth fruits, as it does also in you, since the day you heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth;

²³ If you continue in your faith and your foundation is firm, and if you are not moved from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard, and which has been preached to every creature which is under heaven and for which I, Paul, have become a minister;

¹⁵ And by putting off his mortal body, he exposed the powers of evil, and through his person put them openly to shame.

¹³ Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another; and if any one has a complaint against his fellow man, just as Christ forgave you, so should you also forgive.

³ And pray for us also, that God may open unto us a door for preaching, to speak the mystery of Christ for whose sake I am a prisoner:

⁹ What thanks can we offer to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes,

¹³ Now I want you to know, my brethren, that you should not grieve over those who are dead, as those do who have no hope.

¹⁰ And with all deceitfulness of unrighteousness in those who perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved thereby.

⁴ We have confidence in you through our LORD, that the things we have commanded you to do, you have done and will continue to do.

⁶ Now we command you, my brethren, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, to shun every brother who leads an evil life, and not in accord with the commandments which he received from us.

¹⁴ And if any man does not obey our word in this epistle, note that man, and do not associate with him, that he may be ashamed.

¹⁴ And if any man does not obey our word in this epistle, note that man, and do not associate with him, that he may be ashamed. ¹⁵ Yet do not consider him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

¹⁹ In faith and good conscience; those who have rejected this charge have lost their faith: ²⁰ Namely Hy-me-nµÆus and Al-ex-an-der, whom I have delivered to Satan, to be disciplined so that they may no longer blaspheme.

¹ NOW the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, following after misleading spirits, and doctrines of devils. ² Who with false appearance mislead and speak lies and are seared in their own conscience; ³ Who prohibit marriage, and demand abstinence from foods which God has created for use and thanksgiving of those who believe and know the truth.

²⁰ Those who sin, rebuke in the presence of all men, that others also may fear.

⁶ The husbandman who labors should be the first to be sustained by the fruits. ⁷ Perceive these things: and may our LORD give you wisdom in all things. ⁸ Remember Jesus Christ who rose from the dead; he who was a descendant from David according to my gospel: ⁹ Because of him I suffer hardship, even to bonds like a malefactor; but the word of God is not restricted. ¹⁰ Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Jesus Christ, with eternal glory. ¹¹ This is a true saying: For if we die with him, we shall also live with him: ¹² If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: ¹³ But if we believe not in him, yet he will still remain faithful; for he cannot deny himself. ¹⁴ You should keep these things in remembrance, as a testimony before our LORD, that the faithful should not argue over words in which there is no profit but which are destruction to those who listen to them. ¹⁵ Strive to conduct yourself perfectly before God, as a soldier without reproach and one who preaches straightforwardly the word of truth. ¹⁶ Shun empty and worthless words, for they only increase the ungodliness of those who argue over them. ¹⁷ And their word will be like a canker eating in many: such are Hy-me-nµÆus, and PhileÆtus, ¹⁸ Who have strayed from the truth, saying that the resurrection of the dead is already passed, thus destroying the faith of some.

²⁵ So that he may discipline gently those who argue against him; and perhaps God will grant them repentance and they will know the truth:

³ For the time will come when men will not listen to sound doctrine; but they will add for themselves extra teachers according to their desires, being lured by enticing words; ⁴ And they will turn away their ears from the truth, and they will turn to fables.

¹⁰ For DeÆmas has forsaken me, having loved this world, and has gone to Thes-salo- niÆca; CresÆcens to Ga-laÆtia; Titus to DalmaÆtia.

⁴ To Titus, a true son in the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father, and the LORD Jesus Christ our Saviour.

¹¹ Whose mouths must be stopped, for they corrupt many families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of filthy lucre.

¹² When I send ArÆte-mas or TychÆi-cus to you, endeavor to come to me at Ni-copÆolis: for I have decided to winter there.

²¹ Because I have confidence in your obedience, I wrote to you, knowing that you will also do more than I ask.

²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; and he survived after he had seen God, who is invisible.

¹² Therefore, be courageous and strong; ¹³ And make straight the paths for your feet, so that the weak do not go astray but are healed. ¹⁴ Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see our LORD. ¹⁵ Take heed lest any man among you be found short of the grace of God; or lest any root of bitterness spring forth and harm you, and thereby many be defiled;

⁷ It is to you who believe, therefore, that this honour is given; but to those who are disobedient, he is a stumbling stone and a stone of trouble. ⁸ And they stumble over it because they are disobedient to the word for which they were appointed.

⁸ Be vigilant, and be cautious; because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:

¹ BUT there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the LORD who has redeemed them, and thus bringing upon themselves swift destruction. ² Many will follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. ³ And through covetousness, they will exploit you with feigned words: whose judgment from the very beginning has not ceased and their damnation is always active.

¹ MY beloved, do not believe every prophecy, but examine the prophecies to find out if they are of God: because many false prophets have appeared in the world.

⁷ For many deceivers have appeared in the world, who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist. ⁸ Look to yourselves, that you lose not those things which you have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward. ⁹ Whosoever transgresses, and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who abides in His doctrine, has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not welcome him to your house, neither bid him to eat: ¹¹ For he who bids him to eat is partaker of his evil works.

⁴ For certain men have falsely entered among you, and these were foreordained from the very beginning to this condemnation; they are ungodly men, turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, and denying the only LORD God, and our LORD Jesus Christ.

²² And on some of them whoever they may be, heap coals of fire: ²³ And when they repent, have mercy on them with compassion; despise even a garment which is spotted with the things of the flesh.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit adultery. ¹⁵ And also you have those among you who hold to the teaching of the Nic-o-laÆi-tanes.

²⁰ Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you allowed that woman of yours Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

²⁴ But I say unto you, the rest of you in Thy-a-tiÆra, those of you who do not have this doctrine, and those who have not known, as they say, the depths of Satan, that I will not put upon you another burden.

⁷ And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things says he who is the holy one, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens; ⁸ I know your works: and behold, I have set before you an open door, which no man can lock, for you have but little strength and yet you have obeyed my word, and have not denied my name.

¹² Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power and might to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

⁹ Thus the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world: he was cast out on the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

⁹ Thus the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world: he was cast out on the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, Now the deliverance and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ, has been accomplished: for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before God day and night, is cast down. ¹¹ And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they did not spare themselves even unto death.

⁸ And all who dwell upon the earth shall worship him, even those whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

²⁰ And the wild beast was taken and with him the false prophet who wrought miracles before him with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the wild beast, and those who worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
