2 Corinthians 2

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

But I determined with myself, not to come to you again in grief:

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 it that maketh me glad, but he that is grieved 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 to you, that when I come I may not have grief from those of whom I ought to receive joy, being persuaded concerning all of you, 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 through much affliction and distress of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that ye might be grieved, but that ye might know the love with which I abound 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.

And if any one hath caused grief, it hath grieved me only as to part of you, (that I may not overcharge you

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

all) though sufficient to such a one is the censure passed on him by 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 on the contrary, ye ought rather to forgive and comfort him, least such a one should be swallowed up with excessive sorrow.

8 Therefore I exhort you to confirm toward him love.

Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your 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 to this end also did I write, that I might have 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,

And to whom ye forgive any thing, I also forgive it: for if I have forgiven any thing, I forgave it him, to whom I did forgive it, for your sakes, in the person of Christ; that we might not be foiled by Satan:

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

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,

So that when I came to Troas on account of the gospel of Christ, and a door was 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.

yet I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother there; but taking my leave of them, I went away 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 to God, who always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and spreadeth the odor 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 the sweet odor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, yea 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 these indeed we are an odor of death to death; to those an odor 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 like many who adulterate the word of God: but as with sincerity, but as from God, and in the sight of God, we speak concerning Christ.
