2 Corinthians 2:5 Douay-Rheims

And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me; but in part, that I may not burden you all.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

grief . . . grieved--Translate as before, "sorrow . . . made sorry." The "any" is a delicate way of referring to the incestuous person. not . . . me, but in part--He has grieved me only in part (compare Co2 1:14; Rom 11:25), that is, I am not the sole party aggrieved; most of you, also, were aggrieved. that I may not overcharge--that I may not unduly lay the weight of the charge on you all, which I should do, if I made myself to be the sole party aggrieved. ALFORD punctuates, "He hath not made sorry me, but in part (that I press not too heavily; namely, on him) you all." Thus "you all" is in contrast to "me"; and "in part" is explained in the parenthetical clause.
