2 Corinthians 2

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

But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with 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, who then is he that maketh me glad, but he that 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 very thing, 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 ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love 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 hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to 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 which was [inflicted] by the 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 ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow.

8 Therefore I exhort you to confirm toward him love.

Wherefore I beseech you to confirm [your] love 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.

For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are 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,

But to whom ye forgive anything, I [forgive] also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes [have I forgiven it] in the person of Christ;

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

that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: 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,

Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto 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 relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth 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,

But thanks be unto God, which always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savour of his knowledge 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 a sweet savour of Christ unto God, in them that are being saved, and in them that 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 a savour from death unto death; to the other a savour from 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 the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.
