2 Corinthians 2

1 For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.

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

2 For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?

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

3 And I wrote this very thing, so that, when I came, I would not have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

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 sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for 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 But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.

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

6 Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the 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 by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

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

8 Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward him.

διο παρακαλω υμασ κυρωσαι εισ αυτον αγαπην

9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.

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

10 Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

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

11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

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

12 Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,

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

13 I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out 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 leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge 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 a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;

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

16 to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

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

17 For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

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
