The
Composite

is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.

The World English Bible
Sept. 22
2 Corinthians 2
2Co 2:1 But I
determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in
sorrow.
2Co 2:2 For if I make
you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?
2Co 2:3 And I wrote
this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn't have sorrow
from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all,
that my joy would be shared by all of you.
2Co 2:4 For out of much
affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not
that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that
I have so abundantly for you.
2Co 2:5 But if any has
caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I
not press too heavily) to you all.
2Co 2:6 Sufficient to
such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
2Co 2:7 so that on the
contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any
means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
2Co 2:8 Therefore I beg
you to confirm your love toward him.
2Co 2:9 For to this end
I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are
obedient in all things.
2Co 2:10 Now I also
forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven
anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of
Christ,
2Co 2:11 that no
advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of
his schemes.
2Co 2:12 Now when I
came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened
to me in the Lord,
2Co 2:13 I had no
relief for my spirit, because I didn't find Titus, my brother, but
taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
2Co 2:14 Now thanks be
to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through
us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
2Co 2:15 For we are a
sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those
who perish;
2Co 2:16 to the one a
stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to
life. Who is sufficient for these things?
2Co 2:17 For we are not
as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of
God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

For
if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made
sorry by me?
For
if *I* grieve you, who also [is] it that gladdens me, if not he that
is grieved through me?
for
if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he
who is
made
sorry by me?

I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn`t have
sorrow from them of whom
I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is of
you all.

I have written this very [letter] [to you], that coming I may not
have grief from those
from whom I ought to have joy; trusting in you all that my joy is

Corinthians 2 10
Now
I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have
forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
But
to whom ye forgive anything, *I* also; for I also, what I have
forgiven, if I have
forgiven
anything, [it is] for your sakes in [the] person of Christ;

forgiven anything, to
whom
