1 But

B ⟨For⟩

I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

1 Statui autem hoc ipsum apud me, ne iterum in tristitia venirem ad vos.

2 For if I make you sorry, who is

ℵBA ⟨is⟩

he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?

2 Si enim ego contristo vos: et quis est, qui me lætificet, nisi qui contristatur ex me?

3 And I wrote this same

A omit

unto you

ℵBA omit

, 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.

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 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

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 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

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

6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.

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

7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather

BA omit

to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

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

8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

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

9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

9 Ideo enim et scripsi, ut cognoscam experimentum vestrum, an in omnibus obedientes sitis.

10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it

ℵBA ⟨what I forgave, if I forgave anything⟩

, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;

10 Cui autem aliquid donastis, et ego: nam et ego quod donavi, si quid donavi, propter vos in persona Christi,

11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

11 ut non circumveniamur a Satana: non enim ignoramus cogitationes ejus.

12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

12 ¶ Cum venissem autem Troadem propter Evangelium Christi, et ostium mihi apertum esset in Domino,

13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.

13 non habui requiem spiritui meo, eo quod non invenerim Titum fratrem meum, sed valefaciens eis, profectus sum in Macedoniam.

14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

14 Deo autem gratias, qui semper triumphat nos in Christo Jesu, et odorem notitiæ suæ manifestat per nos in omni loco:

15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

15 quia Christi bonus odor sumus Deo in iis qui salvi fiunt, et in iis qui pereunt:

16 To the one we are the savour of death unto

ℵBA ⟨a savour arising from death and tending to⟩

death; and to the other the savour of life unto

ℵBA ⟨a savour arising from life and tending to⟩

life. And who is sufficient for these things?

16 aliis quidem odor mortis in mortem: aliis autem odor vitæ in vitam. Et ad hæc quis tam idoneus?

17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

17 non enim sumus sicut plurimi, adulterantes verbum Dei, sed ex sinceritate, sed sicut ex Deo, coram Deo, in Christo loquimur.
