2 Corinthians 2
1 I judged (for *N+kO) within myself this not again in grief to you to come.
So I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.
2 If for I myself grieve you again who (is *k) the [one] gladdening me except not the [one] being grieved by me?
For if I grieve you, who is left to cheer me but those whom I have grieved?
3 And I wrote (to you *k) this same thing, so that not having come grief (I may have *N+kO) from [those] of whom it was necessary me to rejoice having trusted in all you that my joy of all of you is.
I wrote as I did so that on my arrival I would not be saddened by those who ought to make me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would share my joy.
4 Out of for much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that you may be grieved, but the love that you may know that I have more abundantly toward you.
For through many tears I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart, not to grieve you but to let you know how much I love you.
5 If however anyone has caused grief, not me myself has he grieved but in part — that not I may burden all you.
Now if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me but all of you—to some degree, not to overstate it.
6 Sufficient to such a one [is] the punishment this which [is] by the majority,
The punishment imposed on him by the majority is sufficient for him.
7 so that on the contrary rather for you to forgive and to comfort [him], lest perhaps by more excessive sorrow may be overwhelmed such a one.
So instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
8 Therefore I exhort you to confirm toward him love.
Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.
9 For this indeed also did I write, so that I may know the proof of you, whether to everything obedient you are.
My purpose in writing you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.
10 To whomever now anything you forgive, I also myself; I also myself; and for I myself (to whom *N+kO) I have forgiven, if anything I have forgiven, [it is] for you in [the] presence of Christ,
If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven it in the presence of Christ for your sake,
11 so that not we may be outwitted by Satan; not for of his schemes we are ignorant.
in order that Satan should not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
12 Having come now to Troas for the gospel of Christ also a door to me having been opened in [the] Lord,
Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and a door stood open for me in the Lord,
13 not I have had rest in the spirit of mine in the not finding my Titus the brother of mine, instead having taken leave of them I went out to Macedonia.
I had no peace in my spirit, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.
14 However to God [be] thanks to the [One] always leading in triumph us in Christ and the fragrance of the knowledge of Him making manifest through us in every place,
But thanks be to God, who always leads us triumphantly as captives in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.
15 For of Christ a sweet perfume we are to God in those being saved and in those perishing,
For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
16 to one indeed an odor (from *no) death to death, to one however a fragrance (from *no) life to life. And for these things who [is] sufficient?
To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; to the other, a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?
17 Not for we are like the (many *NK+O) peddling the word of God, but as of sincerity, but as of God, (before *N+kO) God in Christ we speak.
For we are not like so many others, who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as men sent from God.
