2 Corinthians 2

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

And I decided this to myself, not to come again to you in sorrow,

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, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who 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 to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it was necessary [for] me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is 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 tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that you might be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.

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

And if anyone has caused sorrow, he has not caused sorrow to 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 one is this punishment, that [is] by the greater part,

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, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;

8 Therefore I exhort you to confirm toward him love.

for this reason, I call on you to confirm love to him,

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

for this also I wrote, that I might know your proof, whether you are obedient in regard to 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,

And to whom you forgive anything—I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because of you—in the person of Christ—[I forgive it, ]

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

that we may not be over-reached by Satan, for we are not ignorant 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,

And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door having been opened to 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 have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding my brother Titus, but having taken leave of them, I went forth 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,

and to God [is] thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is revealing through us in every place;

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

we are a refreshing fragrance to God because of Christ, in those being saved, and in those being lost;

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 one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to 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 the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity—but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we speak.
