2 Corinthians 2

1But I determined this within myself, that I would not come again to you in sorrow.

εκρινα δε εμαυτω τουτο, το μη παλιν εν λυπη ελθειν προς υμας.

2For if I make you sorrowful, then who is he who makes me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me?

ει γαρ εγω λυπω υμας, και τις εστιν ο ευφραινων με ει μη ο λυπουμενος εξ εμου;

3And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.

και εγραψα υμιν τουτο αυτο, ινα μη ελθων λυπην εχω αφ ων εδει με χαιρειν, πεποιθως επι παντας υμας οτι η εμη χαρα παντων υμων εστιν.

4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you, with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you.

εκ γαρ πολλης θλιψεως και συνοχης καρδιας εγραψα υμιν δια πολλων δακρυων, ουχ ινα λυπηθητε, αλλα την αγαπην ινα γνωτε ην εχω περισσοτερως εις υμας.

5But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent—not to be too severe.

ει δε τις λελυπηκεν, ουκ εμε λελυπηκεν, αλλα, απο μερους ινα μη επιβαρω, παντας υμας.

6This punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man,

ικανον τω τοιουτω η επιτιμια αυτη η υπο των πλειονων·

7so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow.

ωστε τουναντιον μαλλον υμας χαρισασθαι και παρακαλεσαι, μηπως τη περισσοτερα λυπη καταποθη ο τοιουτος.

8Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him.

διο παρακαλω υμας κυρωσαι εις αυτον αγαπην.

9For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

εις τουτο γαρ και εγραψα, ινα γνω την δοκιμην υμων, ει εις παντα υπηκοοι εστε.

10Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

ω δε τι χαριζεσθε, και εγω· και γαρ εγω ει τι κεχαρισμαι ω κεχαρισμαι, δι υμας εν προσωπω χριστου,

11lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

ινα μη πλεονεκτηθωμεν υπο του σατανα· ου γαρ αυτου τα νοηματα αγνοουμεν.

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

ελθων δε εις την τρωαδα εις το ευαγγελιον του χριστου, και θυρας μοι ανεωγμενης εν κυριω,

13I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia.

ουκ εσχηκα ανεσιν τω πνευματι μου τω μη ευρειν με τιτον τον αδελφον μου, αλλα αποταξαμενος αυτοις εξηλθον εις μακεδονιαν.

14Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

τω δε θεω χαρις τω παντοτε θριαμβευοντι ημας εν τω χριστω και την οσμην της γνωσεως αυτου φανερουντι δι ημων εν παντι τοπω·

15For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

οτι χριστου ευωδια εσμεν τω θεω εν τοις σωζομενοις και εν τοις απολλυμενοις,

16To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

οις μεν οσμη θανατου εις θανατον, οις δε οσμη ζωης εις ζωην. και προς ταυτα τις ικανος;

17For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

ου γαρ εσμεν ως οι λοιποι καπηλευοντες τον λογον του θεου, αλλ ως εξ ειλικρινειας, αλλ ως εκ θεου κατενωπιον του θεου εν χριστω λαλουμεν.
