2 Corinthians 2
1 But I determined this with myself, not to come to you again in sorrow.
εκρινα δε εμαυτω τουτο το μη παλιν ελθειν εν λυπη προς υμας
2 For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me?
ει γαρ εγω λυπω υμας και τις εστιν ο ευφραινων με ει μη ο λυπουμενος εξ εμου
3 And I wrote this same to you; that I may not, when I come, have sorrow upon sorrow, from them of whom I ought to rejoice: having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
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
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you should be made sorrowful: but that you might know the charity I have more abundantly towards you.
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
5 And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me; but in part, that I may not burden you all.
ει δε τις λελυπηκεν ουκ εμε λελυπηκεν αλλ απο μερους ινα μη επιβαρω παντας υμας
6 To him who is such a one, this rebuke is sufficient, which is given by many:
ικανον τω τοιουτω η επιτιμια αυτη η υπο των πλειονων
7 So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
ωστε τουναντιον μαλλον υμας χαρισασθαι και παρακαλεσαι μηπως τη περισσοτερα λυπη καταποθη ο τοιουτος
8 Wherefore, I beseech you, that you would confirm your charity towards him.
διο παρακαλω υμας κυρωσαι εις αυτον αγαπην
9 For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things.
εις τουτο γαρ και εγραψα ινα γνω την δοκιμην υμων ει εις παντα υπηκοοι εστε
10 And to whom you have pardoned any thing, I also. For, what I have pardoned, if I have pardoned any thing, for your sakes have I done it in the person of Christ.
ω δε τι χαριζεσθε και εγω και γαρ εγω ει τι κεχαρισμαι ω κεχαρισμαι δι υμας εν προσωπω χριστου
11 That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices.
ινα μη πλεονεκτηθωμεν υπο του σατανα ου γαρ αυτου τα νοηματα αγνοουμεν
12 And when I was come to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened unto me in the Lord,
ελθων δε εις την τρωαδα εις το ευαγγελιον του χριστου και θυρας μοι ανεωγμενης εν κυριω
13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but bidding them farewell, I went into Macedonia.
ουκ εσχηκα ανεσιν τω πνευματι μου τω μη ευρειν με τιτον τον αδελφον μου αλλα αποταξαμενος αυτοις εξηλθον εις μακεδονιαν
14 Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place.
τω δε θεω χαρις τω παντοτε θριαμβευοντι ημας εν τω χριστω και την οσμην της γνωσεως αυτου φανερουντι δι ημων εν παντι τοπω
15 For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish.
οτι χριστου ευωδια εσμεν τω θεω εν τοις σωζομενοις και εν τοις απολλυμενοις
16 To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient?
οις μεν οσμη θανατου εις θανατον οις δε οσμη ζωης εις ζωην και προς ταυτα τις ικανος
17 For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God; but with sincerity, but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak.
ου γαρ εσμεν ως οι πολλοι καπηλευοντες τον λογον του θεου αλλ ως εξ ειλικρινειας αλλ ως εκ θεου κατενωπιον του θεου εν χριστω λαλουμεν
