2 For G1063 if G1487 I G1473 make G3076 you G5209 sorry, G3076 who G5101 is he G2076 then G2532 that maketh G2165 me G3165 glad, G2165 but G1508 the same which is made sorry G3076 by G1537 me? G1700
For G3754 though G1499 I made G3076 you G5209 sorry G3076 with G1722 a letter, G1992 I do G3338 not G3756 repent, G3338 though G1499 I did repent: G3338 for G1063 I perceive G991 that G3754 the same G1565 epistle G1992 hath made G3076 you G5209 sorry, G3076 though it were but G1499 for G4314 a season.

Commentary on 2 Corinthians 2 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 2
In this chapter the apostle proceeds in the account of the reasons why he did not come to Corinth (v. 1-4). Then he writes concerning the incestuous person who lay under censure; and gives direction for restoring him, together with the reasons for their so doing (v. 5-11), and afterwards informs them of his labours and success in preaching the gospel in several places (v. 12-17).
2Cr 2:1-4
In these verses,
2Cr 2:5-11
In these verses the apostle treats concerning the incestuous person who had been excommunicated, which seems to be one principal cause of his writing this epistle. Here observe,
2Cr 2:12-17
After these directions concerning the excommunicated person the apostle makes a long digression, to give the Corinthians an account of his travels and labours for the furtherance of the gospel, and what success he had therein, declaring at the same time how much he was concerned for them in their affairs, how he had no rest in his spirit, when he found not Titus at Troas (v. 13), as he expected, from whom he hoped to have understood more perfectly how it fared with them. And we find afterwards (ch. 7:5-7) that when the apostle had come into Macedonia he was comforted by the coming of Titus, and the information he gave him concerning them. So that we may look upon all that we read from this second chapter, v. 12, to ch. 7:5, as a kind of parenthesis. Observe here,
