2 Corinthians 2:3 in Context — 2 Corinthians 2
1 Je résolus donc en moi-même de ne pas retourner chez vous dans la tristesse.
2 Car si je vous attriste, qui peut me réjouir, sinon celui qui est attristé par moi?
3 J’ai écrit comme je l’ai fait pour ne pas éprouver, à mon arrivée, de la tristesse de la part de ceux qui devaient me donner de la joie, ayant en vous tous cette confiance que ma joie est la vôtre à tous.
4 C’est dans une grande affliction, le cœur angoissé, et avec beaucoup de larmes, que je vous ai écrit, non pas afin que vous fussiez attristés, mais afin que vous connussiez l’amour extrême que j’ai pour vous.
5 Si quelqu’un a été une cause de tristesse, ce n’est pas moi qu’il a attristé, c’est vous tous, du moins en partie, pour ne rien exagérer.
