2 Corinthians 2

Paul recounts his painful visit to Corinth and decision not to make another such visit, urging the church to forgive and comfort the repentant offender to avoid Satan's advantage. He describes his anxious search for Titus in Troas, then praises Theos for always leading him in triumph through Christos and manifesting the fragrance of knowledge of him everywhere.
