\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.
