Προς Κορινθιους Β΄ 2

1 εκρινα δε εμαυτω τουτο το μη παλιν εν λυπη προσ υμασ ελθειν

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

2 ει γαρ εγω λυπω υμασ και τισ εστιν ο ευφραινων με ει μη ο λυπουμενοσ εξ εμου

If for I myself grieve you again who (is *k) the [one] gladdening me except not the [one] being grieved by me?

3 και εγραψα υμιν τουτο αυτο ινα μη ελθων λυπην εχω αφ ων εδει με χαιρειν πεποιθωσ επι παντασ υμασ οτι η εμη χαρα παντων υμων εστιν

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.

4 εκ γαρ πολλησ θλιψεωσ και συνοχησ καρδιασ εγραψα υμιν δια πολλων δακρυων ουχ ινα λυπηθητε αλλα την αγαπην ινα γνωτε ην εχω περισσοτερωσ εισ υμασ

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.

5 ει δε τισ λελυπηκεν ουκ εμε λελυπηκεν αλλα απο μερουσ ινα μη επιβαρω παντασ υμασ

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

6 ικανον τω τοιουτω η επιτιμια αυτη η υπο των πλειονων

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

7 ωστε τουναντιον μαλλον υμασ χαρισασθαι και παρακαλεσαι μηπωσ τη περισσοτερα λυπη καταποθη ο τοιουτοσ

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.

8 διο παρακαλω υμασ κυρωσαι εισ αυτον αγαπην

Therefore I exhort you to confirm toward him love.

9 εισ τουτο γαρ και εγραψα ινα γνω την δοκιμην υμων ει εισ παντα υπηκοοι εστε

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

10 ω δε τι χαριζεσθε και εγω και γαρ εγω ει τι κεχαρισμαι ω κεχαρισμαι δι υμασ εν προσωπω χριστου

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,

11 ινα μη πλεονεκτηθωμεν υπο του σατανα ου γαρ αυτου τα νοηματα αγνοουμεν

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

12 ελθων δε εισ την τρωαδα εισ το ευαγγελιον του χριστου και θυρασ μοι ανεωγμενησ εν κυριω

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

13 ουκ εσχηκα ανεσιν τω πνευματι μου τω μη ευρειν με τιτον τον αδελφον μου αλλα αποταξαμενοσ αυτοισ εξηλθον εισ μακεδονιαν

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.

14 τω δε θεω χαρισ τω παντοτε θριαμβευοντι ημασ εν τω χριστω και την οσμην τησ γνωσεωσ αυτου φανερουντι δι ημων εν παντι τοπω

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,

15 οτι χριστου ευωδια εσμεν τω θεω εν τοισ σωζομενοισ και εν τοισ απολλυμενοισ

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

16 οισ μεν οσμη θανατου εισ θανατον οισ δε οσμη ζωησ εισ ζωην και προσ ταυτα τισ ικανοσ

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?

17 ου γαρ εσμεν ωσ οι λοιποι καπηλευοντεσ τον λογον του θεου αλλ ωσ εξ ειλικρινειασ αλλ ωσ εκ θεου κατενωπιον του θεου εν χριστω λαλουμεν

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.
