2 Corinthians 2:1
2:1 So
I made up my own mind
not to pay you another painful visit.
2 Corinthians 4:1
Paul’s Perseverance in Ministry
4:1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as God has shown us mercy, we do not become discouraged.
2 Corinthians 2:9
2:9 For this reason also I wrote you:
to test you to see
if you are obedient in everything.
2 Corinthians 5:5
5:5 Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose
is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.
2 Corinthians 8:20
8:20 We did this
as a precaution so that no one should blame us in regard to this generous gift we are administering.
2 Corinthians 9:6
9:6 My point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously
will also reap generously.
2 Corinthians 13:1
Paul’s Third Visit to Corinth
13:1 This is the third time I am coming to visit you. By the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter will be established.
2 Corinthians 13:9
13:9 For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong. And we pray for this: that you may become fully qualified.
2 Corinthians 5:14
5:14 For the love of Christ
controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christ
died for all; therefore all have died.
2 Corinthians 7:13
7:13 Therefore we have been encouraged. And in addition to our own encouragement, we rejoiced even more at the joy of Titus, because all of you have refreshed his spirit.
2 Corinthians 8:10
8:10 So here is my opinion on this matter: It is to your advantage, since you
made a good start last year both in your giving and your desire to give,
2 Corinthians 10:7
10:7 You are looking at outward appearances.
If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should reflect on this again: Just as he himself belongs to Christ, so too do we.
2 Corinthians 10:11
10:11 Let such a person consider this: What we say
by letters when we are absent, we also are in actions when we are present.
2 Corinthians 1:17
1:17 Therefore when I was planning to do this, I did not do so without thinking about what I was doing, did I?
Or do I make my plans
according to mere human standards
so that I would be saying
both “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
2 Corinthians 2:3
2:3 And I wrote this very thing to you,
so that when I came
I would not have sadness from those who ought to make me rejoice, since I am confident in you all that my joy would be yours.
2 Corinthians 7:11
7:11 For see what this very thing, this sadness
as God intended, has produced in you: what eagerness, what defense of yourselves,
what indignation,
what alarm, what longing, what deep concern,
what punishment!
In everything you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
2 Corinthians 12:14
12:14 Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you, because I do not want your possessions, but you. For children should not have
to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
2 Corinthians 13:10
13:10 Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive
I may not have to deal harshly with you
by using my authority – the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!
