1But <1161> I determined <2919> (5656) this <5124> with myself <1683>_, that I would <2064> (0) not <3361> come <2064> (5629) again <3825> to <4314> you <5209> in <1722> heaviness <3077>_.
2For <1063> if <1487> I <1473> make <3076> (0) you <5209> sorry <3076> (5719)_, who <5101> is he <2076> (5748) then <2532> that maketh <2165> (0) me <3165> glad <2165> (5723)_, but <1508> the same which is made sorry <3076> (5746) by <1537> me <1700>_?
3And <2532> I wrote <1125> (5656) this <5124> same <846> unto you <5213>_, lest <3363>_, when I came <2064> (5631)_, I should have <2192> (5725) sorrow <3077> from <575> them of whom <3739> I <3165> ought <1163> (5713) to rejoice <5463> (5721)_; having confidence <3982> (5756) in <1909> you <5209> all <3956>_, that <3754> my <1699> joy <5479> is <2076> (5748) [the joy] of you <5216> all <3956>_.
4For <1063> out of <1537> much <4183> affliction <2347> and <2532> anguish <4928> of heart <2588> I wrote <1125> (5656) unto you <5213> with <1223> many <4183> tears <1144>_; not <3756> that <2443> ye should be grieved <3076> (5686)_, but <235> that <2443> ye might know <1097> (5632) the love <26> which <3739> I have <2192> (5719) more abundantly <4056> unto <1519> you <5209>_.
5But <1161> if any <1536> have caused grief <3076> (5758)_, he hath <3076> (0) not <3756> grieved <3076> (5758) me <1691>_, but <235> in <575> part <3313>_: that <3363> (0) I may <1912> (0) not <3363> overcharge <1912> (5725) you <5209> all <3956>_.
6Sufficient <2425> to such a man <5108> [is] this <3778> punishment <2009>_, which <3588> [was inflicted] of <5259> many <4119>_. {punishment: or, censure}
7So <5620> that contrariwise <5121> ye <5209> [ought] rather <3123> to forgive <5483> (5664) [him], and <2532> comfort <3870> (5658) [him], lest <3381> perhaps <4458> such a one <5108> should be swallowed up <2666> (5686) with overmuch <4055> sorrow <3077>_.
8Wherefore <1352> I beseech <3870> (5719) you <5209> that ye would confirm <2964> (5658) [your] love <26> toward <1519> him <846>_.
9For <1063> to <1519> this end <5124> also <2532> did I write <1125> (5656)_, that <2443> I might know <1097> (5632) the proof <1382> of you <5216>_, whether <1487> ye be <2075> (5748) obedient <5255> in <1519> all things <3956>_.
10<1161> To whom <3739> ye forgive <5483> (5736) any thing <5100>_, I <1473> [forgive] also <2532>_: for <2532> <1063> if I <1473> forgave <5483> (5766) any thing <1536>_, to whom <3739> I forgave <5483> (5766) [it], for your sakes <1223> <5209> [forgave I it] in <1722> the person <4383> of Christ <5547>_; {person: or, sight}
11Lest <3363> Satan <5259> <4567> should get an advantage of us <4122> (5686)_: for <1063> we are not <3756> ignorant <50> (5719) of his <846> devices <3540>_.
12Furthermore <1161>_, when I came <2064> (5631) to <1519> Troas <5174> to <1519> [preach] Christ's <5547> gospel <2098>_, and <2532> a door <2374> was opened <455> (5772) unto me <3427> of <1722> the Lord <2962>_,
13I had <2192> (5758) no <3756> rest <425> in my <3450> spirit <4151>_, because I <3165> found <2147> (5629) not <3361> Titus <5103> my <3450> brother <80>_: but <235> taking my leave <657> (5671) of them <846>_, I went from thence <1831> (5627) into <1519> Macedonia <3109>_.
14Now <1161> thanks <5485> [be] unto God <2316>_, which always <3842> causeth <2358> (0) us <2248> to triumph <2358> (5723) in <1722> Christ <5547>_, and <2532> maketh manifest <5319> (5723) the savour <3744> of his <846> knowledge <1108> by <1223> us <2257> in <1722> every <3956> place <5117>_.
15For <3754> we are <2070> (5748) unto God <2316> a sweet savour <2175> of Christ <5547>_, in <1722> them that are saved <4982> (5746)_, and <2532> in <1722> them that perish <622> (5730)_:
16To <3739> the one <3303> [we are] the savour <3744> of death <2288> unto <1519> death <2288>_; and <1161> to the other <3739> the savour <3744> of life <2222> unto <1519> life <2222>_. And <2532> who <5101> [is] sufficient <2425> for <4314> these things <5023>_?
17For <1063> we are <2070> (5748) not <3756> as <5613> many <4183>_, which corrupt <2585> (5723) the word <3056> of God <2316>_: but <235> as <5613> of <1537> sincerity <1505>_, but <235> as <5613> of <1537> God <2316>_, in the sight <2714> of God <2316> speak we <2980> (5719) in <1722> Christ <5547>_. {corrupt: or, deal deceitfully with} {in Christ: or, of Christ}
