1
But I have judged this with myself, not to come back to you in grief.
2
For if I grieve you, who also [is] it that gladdens me, if not he that is grieved through me?
3
And I have written this very [letter] [to you], that coming I may not have grief from those from whom I ought to have joy; trusting in you all that my joy is [that] of you all.
4
For out of much tribulation and distress of heart I wrote to you, with many tears; not that ye may be grieved, but that ye may know the love which I have very abundantly towards you.
5
But if any one has grieved, he has grieved, not me, but in part (that I may not overcharge [you]) all of you.
6
Sufficient to such a one [is] this rebuke which [has been inflicted] by the many;
7
so that on the contrary ye should rather shew grace and encourage, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with excessive grief.
8
Wherefore I exhort you to assure him of [your] love.
9
For to this end also I have written, that I might know, by putting you to the test, if as to everything ye are obedient.
10
But to whom ye forgive anything, I also; for I also, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, [it is] for your sakes in [the] person of Christ;
11
that we might not have Satan get an advantage against us, for we are not ignorant of his thoughts.
12
Now when I came to Troas for the [publication of the] glad tidings of the Christ, a door also being opened to me in [the] Lord,
13
I had no rest in my spirit at not finding Titus my brother; but bidding them adieu, I came away to Macedonia.
14
But thanks [be] toGod, who always leads us in triumph in the Christ, and makes manifest the odour of his knowledge through us in every place.
15
For we are a sweet odour of Christ toGod, in the saved and in those that perish:
16
to the one an odour from death unto death, but to the others an odour from life unto life; and who [is] sufficient for these things?
17
For we do not, as the many, make a trade of the word ofGod; but as of sincerity, but as ofGod, beforeGod, we speak in Christ.

1
Statui autem hoc ipsum apud me, ne iterum in tristitia venirem ad vos.
2
Si enim ego contristo vos: et quis est, qui me lætificet, nisi qui contristatur ex me?
3
Et hoc ipsum scripsi vobis, ut non cum venero, tristitiam super tristitiam habeam, de quibus oportuerat me gaudere: confidens in omnibus vobis, quia meum gaudium, omnium vestrum est.
4
Nam ex multa tribulatione, et angustia cordis scripsi vobis per multas lacrymas: non ut contristemini: sed ut sciatis, quam charitatem habeam abundantius in vobis.
5
Si quis autem contristavit, non me contristavit: sed ex parte, ut non onerem omnes vos.
6
Sufficit illi, qui eiusmodi est, obiurgatio hæc, quæ fit a pluribus:
7
ita ut econtrario magis donetis, et consolemini, ne forte abundantiori tristitia absorbeatur qui eiusmodi est.
8
Propter quod obsecro vos, ut confirmetis in illum charitatem.
9
Ideo enim et scripsi, ut cognoscam experimentum vestrum, an in omnibus obedientes sitis.
10
Cui autem aliquid donastis, et ego: nam et ego quod donavi, si quid donavi, propter vos in persona Christi,
11
ut non circumveniamur a satana: non enim ignoramus cogitationes eius.
12
Cum venissem autem Troadem propter Evangelium Christi, et ostium mihi apertum esset in Domino,
13
non habui requiem spiritui meo, eo quod non invenerim Titum fratrem meum, sed valefaciens eis, profectus sum in Macedoniam.
14
Deo autem gratias, qui semper triumphat nos in Christo Iesu, et odorem notitiæ suæ manifestat per nos in omni loco:
15
quia Christi bonus odor sumus Deo in iis, qui salvi fiunt, et in iis, qui pereunt:
16
aliis quidem odor mortis in mortem: aliis autem odor vitæ in vitam. Et ad hæc quis tam idoneus?
17
Non enim sumus sicut plurimi, adulterantes verbum Dei, sed ex sinceritate, sed sicut ex Deo, coram Deo, in Christo loquimur.

1
And I decided this to myself, not again to come in sorrow unto you,
2
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 this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,
4
for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.
5
And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;
6
sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that <FI>is<Fi> by the more part,
7
so that, on the contrary, <FI>it is<Fi> rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;
8
wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him,
9
for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.
10
And to whom ye forgive anything--I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven <FI>it<Fi> , because of you--in the person of Christ--<FI> I forgive it,<Fi>
11
that we may not be over-reached by the Adversary, for of his devices we are not ignorant.
12
And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord,
13
I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding Titus my brother, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;
14
and to God <FI>are<Fi> thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is manifesting through us in every place,
15
because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those being saved, and in those being lost;
16
to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient?
17
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 do speak.
