2 Corinthians 2:2

New American Bible - revised edition

For if I inflict pain upon you, then who is there to cheer me except the one pained by me?

See the chapter Copy

For even if I saddened you by my letter, I do not regret it; and if I did regret it ([for] I see that that letter saddened you, if only for a while),

as you have come to understand us partially, that we are your boast as you also are ours, on the day of [our] Lord Jesus.

If [one] part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy. Application to Christ.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led to sin, and I am not indignant? Paul’s Boast: His Weakness.

When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
