< 2 Corinthians 2 >
1 I judged (for *N(k)O*) within myself this not again in grief to you to come.
2 If for I myself grieve you again who (is *k*) the [one] gladdening me except not the [one] being grieved by me?
3 And I wrote (to you *k*) this same thing, so that not having come grief (I may have *N(k)O*) from [those] of whom it was necessary me to rejoice having trusted in all you that my joy of all of you is.
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.
5 If however anyone has caused grief, not me myself has he grieved but in part — that not I may burden all you.
6 Sufficient to such a one [is] the punishment this which [is] by the majority,
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.
8 Therefore I exhort you to confirm toward him love.
9 For this indeed also did I write, so that I may know the proof of you, whether to everything obedient you are.
10 To whomever now anything you forgive, I also myself; I also myself; and for I myself (to whom *N(k)O*) I have forgiven, if anything I have forgiven, [it is] for you in [the] presence of Christ,
11 so that not we may be outwitted by Satan; not for of his schemes we are ignorant.
12 Having come now to Troas for the gospel of Christ also a door to me having been opened 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.
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,
15 For of Christ a sweet perfume we are to God in those being saved and in those perishing,
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?
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(k)O*) (*k*) God in Christ we speak.
