\subsection{II Corinthians 2} \VS{1} But I judged this [thing] in myself: not again in pain to come to you. \VS{2} For if I pain you, who is the [one] gladdening me except the [one] being pained by me? \VS{3} And I wrote this same [thing] lest coming I have pain from whom I must rejoice, having been persuaded [of you] all that my joy is [the joy] of all [of you]. \VS{4} For from much affliction and distress of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not in order that you be pained, but in order that you know the agape-love which I have more abundantly towards you. \VS{5} But if any have pained, he has not pained me, except in part, in order that I not burden you all. \VS{6} Sufficient to such [is] this punishment by the many, \VS{7} with the result that you rather pardon and encourage [him], lest such [a one] be swallowed up by greater pain. \VS{8} Therefore I call upon you to confirm [your] agape-love toward him. \VS{9} For to this I also wrote, in order that I know your character, if to everything you are obedient. \VS{10} So to whom you pardon anything, I [do] also; for what I have pardoned, if I have pardoned anything, [I pardoned it] on your account before the face of Christ, \VS{11} in order that we not be outwitted\footnote{or ``taken advantage of''} by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his designs. \VS{12} So having come out to Troas for the good-news of Christ, and [a] door being opened to me in the Lord, \VS{13} I had not rest in my spirit, for I did not find Titus my brother, but having taken leave of them I departed to Macedonia. \VS{14} But grace [be] to the God always leading us in triumph in Christ and manifesting through us the odor of his knowledge in every place. \VS{15} For we are the fragrance of Christ to God among those being saved and among those perishing, \VS{16} to the [one the] odor from death to death, to the [other the] odor from zoe-life\fnZoe{} to zoe-life\fnZoe{}. And who [is] sufficient to these [things]? \VS{17} For we are not as the many peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak.
