so that, on the contrary, you [ought] rather to forgive and comfort [him], lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow. Therefore I urge you to reaffirm [your] love to him. ... Now thanks [be] to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. ... For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ. - 2Co 2:7-8, 14-15, 17 NKJV
