< 2 Corinthians 2 >

1 I judged (for *N(k)O*) within myself this not again in grief to you to come.
But I have determined this in myself, that I will not with sorrow again come 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 shall refresh me, but he whom I had grieved?
3 And I wrote (to you *k*) this same thing, so that not having come grief (I may have *N(k)O*) 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 have written to you this very, lest when I come they grieve me, they who ought to refresh me. But I confide in you, that my joy is that of all of you.
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.
And from great affliction and anxiety of heart I wrote those things to you with many tears, not that you might grieve, but (also) that you might know the abundant love I have towards 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 one hath caused grief, he hath not grieved me (only), but a part of you all: that the word may not weigh upon you.
6 Sufficient to such a one [is] the punishment this which [is] by the majority,
But sufficient for him was this chastisement, which was from 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.
And now on the other hand it behoves you to forgive him and console him, lest he who is such an one be swallowed up of excessive grief.
8 Therefore I exhort you to confirm toward him love.
Therefore I entreat of you to confirm to him your love.
9 For this indeed also did I write, so that I may know the proof of you, whether to everything obedient you are.
On this account also I have written, to ascertain by experiment whether in every thing you will obey me.
10 To whomever now anything you forgive, I also myself; I also myself; and for I myself (to whom *N(k)O*) I have forgiven, if anything I have forgiven, [it is] for you in [the] presence of Christ,
But to whom you forgive, I also. For I, too, what I have forgiven, have on your account forgiven in the presence of the Meshiha:
11 so that not we may be outwitted by Satan; not for of his schemes we are ignorant.
lest Satana get the advantage of you; for we know his devices.
12 Having come now to Troas for the gospel of Christ also a door to me having been opened in [the] Lord,
WHEN, in preaching the gospel of the Meshiha, I had come to Troas, and a door was opened to me by 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 because I found not Titos my brother. But leaving them, I went forth to Makedunia.
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 unto Aloha, who in all time maketh us a triumph in the Meshiha, and maketh manifest by us the perfume 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 fragrant perfume in the Meshiha unto Aloha in those who are saved, and in those who 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 these as a perfume of death unto death, and to those as a perfume of life unto life. And unto these who is equal?
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(k)O*) (*k*) God in Christ we speak.
For we are not as the rest who commix the word of Aloha; but as in truth, and as from Aloha, before Aloha in the Meshiha do we speak.
