2 Corinthians 2:3 in Context — 2 Corinthians 2
1 Porém decidi isto mesmo comigo, de não mais vir até vós com tristeza.
2 Porque se eu vos entristecer, então quem será o que me alegrará, senão aquele que por mim foi entristecido?
3 E isto mesmo vos escrevi, para que quando vier, não tenha tristeza dos que deveriam me alegrar, confiando de vós todos, que minha alegria é [a alegria] de todos vós.
4 Porque em muita aflição e angústia de coração eu vos escrevi com muitas lágrimas, não para que vos entristecêsseis, mas para que entendêsseis o amor que tenho em abundância para convosco.
5 Porém se alguém [me] entristeceu, não entristeceu a mim [somente] , mas em parte (para que não se exagere) a todos.
