2 Corinthians 2:3 in Context — 2 Corinthians 2
1 ESTO pues determiné para conmigo, no venir otra vez á vosotros con tristeza.
2 Porque si yo os contristo, ¿quién será luego el que me alegrará, sino aquel á quien yo contristare?
3 Y esto mismo os escribí, porque cuando llegare no tenga tristeza sobre tristeza de los que me debiera gozar; confiando en vosotros todos que mi gozo es [el] de todos vosotros.
4 Porque por la mucha tribulación y angustia del corazón os escribí con muchas lágrimas; no para que fueseis contristados, mas para que supieseis cuánto más amor tengo para con vosotros.
5 Que si alguno [me] contristó, no me contristó á mí, sino en parte, por no cargaros, á todos vosotros.
