2 Corinthians 2

1 I judged (for *N+kO) within myself this not again in grief to you to come.

But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

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 make you sorry, who is he then that makes me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?

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.

And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

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 out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that all of you should be grieved, but that all of you might know the love (agape) which I have more abundantly unto you.

5 If however anyone has caused grief, not me myself has he grieved but in part — that not I may burden all you.

But if any have caused grief, he has not grieved me, but in part: that I may not burden you all.

6 Sufficient to such a one [is] the punishment this which [is] by the majority,

Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.

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 that contrariwise all of you ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

8 Therefore I exhort you to confirm toward him love.

Wherefore I plead to you that all of you would confirm your love (agape) toward him.

9 For this indeed also did I write, so that I may know the proof of you, whether to everything obedient you are.

In order to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether all of you be obedient in all things.

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,

To whom all of you forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;

11 so that not we may be outwitted by Satan; not for of his schemes we are ignorant.

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

12 Having come now to Troas for the gospel of Christ also a door to me having been opened in [the] Lord,

Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of 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 rest in my spirit, (pneuma) because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into 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,

Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

15 For of Christ a sweet perfume we are to God in those being saved and in those perishing,

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

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 the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

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 as many, which corrupt the word (logos) of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
