Lyrics
I determined for myself That I would not come to you again in sorrow For if I make you grieve Then who will make me glad but he who is made to grieve by me
Out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears Not that you should be made to grieve But that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you
If any has caused sorrow He has caused sorrow not to me But in part to you all This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient So you should rather forgive him and comfort him
Lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up With his excessive sorrow
Now thanks be to God Who always leads us in triumph in Christ And reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge In every place
For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God In those who are being saved And in those who perish To the one a stench from death to death To the other a sweet aroma from life to life
Who is sufficient for these things We are not as so many Peddling the word of God But as of sincerity As of God, we speak in Christ
