2 Corinthians 2

GNT

1 ἔκρινα γὰρ ἐμαυτῶ τοῦτο, τὸ μὴ πάλιν ἐν λύπῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλθεῖν·

2 εἰ γὰρ ἐγὼ λυπῶ ὑμᾶς, καὶ τίς ὁ εὐφραίνων με εἰ μὴ ὁ λυπούμενος ἐξ ἐμοῦ;

3 καὶ ἔγραψα τοῦτο αὐτὸ ἵνα μὴ ἐλθὼν λύπην σχῶ ἀφ᾽ ὧν ἔδει με χαίρειν, πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ πάντας ὑμᾶς ὅτι ἡ ἐμὴ χαρὰ πάντων ὑμῶν ἐστιν.

4 ἐκ γὰρ πολλῆς θλίψεως καὶ συνοχῆς καρδίας ἔγραψα ὑμῖν διὰ πολλῶν δακρύων, οὐχ ἵνα λυπηθῆτε ἀλλὰ τὴν ἀγάπην ἵνα γνῶτε ἣν ἔχω περισσοτέρως εἰς ὑμᾶς.

5 εἰ δέ τις λελύπηκεν, οὐκ ἐμὲ λελύπηκεν, ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ μέρους, ἵνα μὴ ἐπιβαρῶ, πάντας ὑμᾶς.

6 ἱκανὸν τῶ τοιούτῳ ἡ ἐπιτιμία αὕτη ἡ ὑπὸ τῶν πλειόνων,

7 ὥστε τοὐναντίον μᾶλλον ὑμᾶς χαρίσασθαι καὶ παρακαλέσαι, μή πως τῇ περισσοτέρᾳ λύπῃ καταποθῇ ὁ τοιοῦτος.

8 διὸ παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς κυρῶσαι εἰς αὐτὸν ἀγάπην·

9 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ ἔγραψα ἵνα γνῶ τὴν δοκιμὴν ὑμῶν, εἰ εἰς πάντα ὑπήκοοί ἐστε.

10 ᾧ δέ τι χαρίζεσθε, κἀγώ· καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ὃ κεχάρισμαι, εἴ τι κεχάρισμαι, δι᾽ ὑμᾶς ἐν προσώπῳ χριστοῦ,

11 ἵνα μὴ πλεονεκτηθῶμεν ὑπὸ τοῦ σατανᾶ, οὐ γὰρ αὐτοῦ τὰ νοήματα ἀγνοοῦμεν.

12 ἐλθὼν δὲ εἰς τὴν τρῳάδα εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ χριστοῦ, καὶ θύρας μοι ἀνεῳγμένης ἐν κυρίῳ,

13 οὐκ ἔσχηκα ἄνεσιν τῶ πνεύματί μου τῶ μὴ εὑρεῖν με τίτον τὸν ἀδελφόν μου, ἀλλὰ ἀποταξάμενος αὐτοῖς ἐξῆλθον εἰς μακεδονίαν.

14 τῶ δὲ θεῶ χάρις τῶ πάντοτε θριαμβεύοντι ἡμᾶς ἐν τῶ χριστῶ καὶ τὴν ὀσμὴν τῆς γνώσεως αὐτοῦ φανεροῦντι δι᾽ ἡμῶν ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ·

15 ὅτι χριστοῦ εὐωδία ἐσμὲν τῶ θεῶ ἐν τοῖς σῳζομένοις καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀπολλυμένοις,

16 οἷς μὲν ὀσμὴ ἐκ θανάτου εἰς θάνατον, οἷς δὲ ὀσμὴ ἐκ ζωῆς εἰς ζωήν. καὶ πρὸς ταῦτα τίς ἱκανός;

17 οὐ γάρ ἐσμεν ὡς οἱ πολλοὶ καπηλεύοντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἐξ εἰλικρινείας, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἐκ θεοῦ κατέναντι θεοῦ ἐν χριστῶ λαλοῦμεν.

KJV

1  But¹¹⁶¹ I determined²⁹¹⁹ this⁵¹²⁴ with myself,¹⁶⁸³ that I would not³³⁶¹ come²⁰⁶⁴ again³⁸²⁵ to⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ in¹⁷²² heaviness.³⁰⁷⁷

2  For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ I¹⁴⁷³ make you sorry,^{3076 5209} who^{5101 2532} is²⁰⁷⁶ he then that maketh me glad,^{2165 3165} but¹⁵⁰⁸ the same which is made sorry³⁰⁷⁶ by¹⁵³⁷ me?¹⁷⁰⁰

3  And²⁵³² I wrote¹¹²⁵ this⁵¹²⁴ same⁸⁴⁶ unto you,⁵²¹³ lest,³³⁶³ when I came,²⁰⁶⁴ I should have²¹⁹² sorrow³⁰⁷⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ them of whom³⁷³⁹ I³¹⁶⁵ ought¹¹⁶³ to rejoice;⁵⁴⁶³ having confidence³⁹⁸² in¹⁹⁰⁹ you⁵²⁰⁹ all,³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ my¹⁶⁹⁹ joy⁵⁴⁷⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ the joy of you⁵²¹⁶ all.³⁹⁵⁶

4  For¹⁰⁶³ out of¹⁵³⁷ much⁴¹⁸³ affliction²³⁴⁷ and²⁵³² anguish⁴⁹²⁸ of heart²⁵⁸⁸ I wrote¹¹²⁵ unto you⁵²¹³ with¹²²³ many⁴¹⁸³ tears;¹¹⁴⁴ not³⁷⁵⁶ that²⁴⁴³ ye should be grieved,³⁰⁷⁶ but²³⁵ that²⁴⁴³ ye might know¹⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ love²⁶ which³⁷³⁹ I have²¹⁹² more abundantly⁴⁰⁵⁶ unto¹⁵¹⁹ you.⁵²⁰⁹

5  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ any⁵¹⁰⁰ have caused grief,³⁰⁷⁶ he hath not³⁷⁵⁶ grieved³⁰⁷⁶ me,¹⁶⁹¹ but²³⁵ in part:^{575 3313} that²⁴⁴³ I may not³³⁶¹ overcharge¹⁹¹² you⁵²⁰⁹ all.³⁹⁵⁶

6  Sufficient²⁴²⁵ to such a man⁵¹⁰⁸ is this³⁷⁷⁸ punishment,²⁰⁰⁹ which³⁵⁸⁸ was inflicted of⁵²⁵⁹ many.⁴¹¹⁹

7  So that⁵⁶²⁰ contrariwise⁵¹²¹ ye⁵²⁰⁹ ought rather³¹²³ to forgive⁵⁴⁸³ him, and²⁵³² comfort³⁸⁷⁰ him, lest³³⁸¹ perhaps such a one⁵¹⁰⁸ should be swallowed up²⁶⁶⁶ with overmuch⁴⁰⁵⁵ sorrow.³⁰⁷⁷

8  Wherefore¹³⁵² I beseech³⁸⁷⁰ you⁵²⁰⁹ that ye would confirm²⁹⁶⁴ your love²⁶ toward¹⁵¹⁹ him.⁸⁴⁶

9  For¹⁰⁶³ to¹⁵¹⁹ this end⁵¹²⁴ also²⁵³² did I write,¹¹²⁵ that²⁴⁴³ I might know¹⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ proof¹³⁸² of you,⁵²¹⁶ whether¹⁴⁸⁷ ye be²⁰⁷⁵ obedient⁵²⁵⁵ in¹⁵¹⁹ all things.³⁹⁵⁶

10  ¹¹⁶¹ To whom³⁷³⁹ ye forgive⁵⁴⁸³ any thing,⁵¹⁰⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ forgive also:²⁵³² for¹⁰⁶³ if I forgave any thing,^{1536 1473 5483 2532} to whom³⁷³⁹ I forgave⁵⁴⁸³ it, for your sakes^{1223 5209} forgave I it in¹⁷²² the person⁴³⁸³ of Christ;⁵⁵⁴⁷

11  Lest³³⁶³ Satan⁴⁵⁶⁷ should get an advantage⁴¹²² of us: for¹⁰⁶³ we are not ignorant^{50 3756} of his⁸⁴⁶ devices.³⁵⁴⁰

12  Furthermore, when I came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Troas⁵¹⁷⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ preach Christ's⁵⁵⁴⁷ gospel,²⁰⁹⁸ and²⁵³² a door²³⁷⁴ was opened⁴⁵⁵ unto me³⁴²⁷ of¹⁷²² the Lord,²⁹⁶²

13  I had²¹⁹² no³⁷⁵⁶ rest⁴²⁵ in my³⁴⁵⁰ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ because I³¹⁶⁵ found²¹⁴⁷ not³³⁶¹ Titus⁵¹⁰³ my³⁴⁵⁰ brother:⁸⁰ but²³⁵ taking my leave⁶⁵⁷ of them,⁸⁴⁶ I went from thence¹⁸³¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ Macedonia.³¹⁰⁹

14  Now¹¹⁶¹ thanks⁵⁴⁸⁵ be unto God,²³¹⁶ which always causeth us to triumph^{2358 3842 2248} in¹⁷²² Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² maketh manifest⁵³¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ savor³⁷⁴⁴ of his⁸⁴⁸ knowledge¹¹⁰⁸ by¹²²³ us²²⁵⁷ in¹⁷²² every³⁹⁵⁶ place.⁵¹¹⁷

15  For³⁷⁵⁴ we are²⁰⁷⁰ unto God²³¹⁶ a sweet savor²¹⁷⁵ of Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ in¹⁷²² them that are saved,⁴⁹⁸² and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² them that perish:⁶²²

16  To the one^{3739 3303} we are the savor³⁷⁴⁴ of death²²⁸⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ death;²²⁸⁸ and¹¹⁶¹ to the other³⁷³⁹ the savor³⁷⁴⁴ of life²²²² unto¹⁵¹⁹ life.²²²² And²⁵³² who⁵¹⁰¹ is sufficient²⁴²⁵ for⁴³¹⁴ these things?⁵⁰²³

17  For¹⁰⁶³ we are²⁰⁷⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ as⁵⁶¹³ many,⁴¹⁸³ which corrupt²⁵⁸⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁵⁸⁸ of God:²³¹⁶ but²³⁵ as⁵⁶¹³ of¹⁵³⁷ sincerity,¹⁵⁰⁵ but²³⁵ as⁵⁶¹³ of¹⁵³⁷ God,²³¹⁶ in the sight²⁷¹⁴ of God²³¹⁶ speak²⁹⁸⁰ we in¹⁷²² Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

Vul

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 lacrimas: non ut contristemini, sed ut sciatis, quam caritatem habeam abundantius in vobis.

5 Si quis autem contristavit, non me contristavit: sed ex parte, ut non onerem omnes vos.

6 Sufficit illi, qui ejusmodi est, objurgatio hæc, quæ fit a pluribus:

7 ita ut e contrario magis donetis, et consolemini, ne forte abundantiori tristitia absorbeatur qui ejusmodi est.

8 Propter quod obsecro vos, ut confirmetis in illum caritatem.

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 ejus.

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 Jesu, et odorem notitiæ suæ manifestat per nos in omni loco:

15 quia Christi bonus odor sumus Deo in iis qui salvi fiunt, et in his 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.
