2 Corinthians 2 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
[SUP]5 [/SUP]I don’t want to be hard on you. But if one of you has made someone feel bad, I am not really the one who has been made to feel bad. Some of you are the ones. [SUP]6 [/SUP]Most of you have already pointed out the wrong that person did, and that is punishment enough for what was done.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]When people sin, you should forgive and comfort them, so they won’t give up in despair.[SUP]8 [/SUP]You should make them sure of your love for them.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]I also wrote because I wanted to test you and find out if you would follow my instructions. [SUP]10 [/SUP]I will forgive anyone you forgive. Yes, for your sake and with Christ as my witness, I have forgiven whatever needed to be forgiven. [SUP]11 [/SUP]I have done this to keep Satan from getting the better of us. We all know what goes on in his mind.
[h=1]I think some of us are looking for the perfect church there is no perfect church in dealing with humanity pastors lie , cheat, congragation members steal and so...
if there were a perfect church ever found not one of us deserve to enter into it because we'd ruin it.
That is why the fellowship is so important to be like minded followers of CHRIST JESUS so He could shine and not us.
2 Corinthians 1 Contemporary English Version (CEV)4 He comforts us when we are in trouble, so that we can share that same comfort with others in trouble. 5 We share in the terrible sufferings of Christ, but also in the wonderful comfort he gives. 6 We suffer in the hope that you will be comforted and saved. And because we are comforted, you will also be comforted, as you patiently endure suffering like ours.[/h][h=1][/h][h=1][/h]
