1But I determined this with myself, to come to you again in sorrow.
1But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow.
2For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me?
2For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad but he that is made sorry by me?
3And 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.
3And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
4For 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.
4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
5And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me: but in part, that I may not burden you all.
5But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all.
6To him who is such a one, this rebuke is sufficient, which is given by many.
6Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
7So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
7so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow.
8Wherefore, I beseech you that you would confirm your charity towards him.
8Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your love toward him.
9For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things.
9For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things.
10And 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:
10But to whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes have I forgiven it in the presence of Christ;
11That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices.
11that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
12And when I was come to Troas for the gospel of Christ and a door was opened unto me in the Lord,
12Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord,
13I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but bidding them farewell, I went into Macedonia.
13I had no relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.
14Now 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.
14But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place.
15For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved and in them that perish.
15For we are a sweet savor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish;
