B For in great affliccion ∧
anguysshe of hert I wrote vnto you with many
teares: not to make you sory / but that ye
myght perceave the love which I have most
specially vnto you.
If eny man hath caused sorow / the same
hath not made me sory / but partely: lest I
shuld greve you all. It is sufficient vnto the
same man that he was rebuked of many. So
-- --
that now contrary wyse ye ought to forgeve
him and comforte him: lest that same persone
shuld be swalowed vp with over moche hevines.
C Wherfore I exhorte you / that love maye
have str&ebar;gth over him. For this cause verely
dyd I write / that I myght knowe the profe
of you / whether ye shuld be obedi&ebar;t in all thinges.
To whom ye forgeve enythinge / I forgeve
also. And verely if I forgeve enythinge / to
whom I forgave it / for youre sakes forgave I
it / in the roume of Christ / lest Satan shuld
prev&ebar;t vs. For his thoughtes are not vnknowen
vnto vs. &cross3;
When I was come to Troada for Christ&es;
gospels sake (∧ a great dore was openned vnto
me of the Lorde) I had no rest in my sprete /
because I founde not Titus my brother: but
toke my leave of them ∧ went awaye into Macedonia.
Thankes be vnto God which alwayes
geveth vs the victorie in Christ /
D ∧ openeth
the saver of his knowledge by vs in every place.
For we are vnto God the swete savoure
of Christ / both am&obar;ge them that are saved / note ∧
also am&obar;ge them which perisshe. To the one
parte are we þe; savoure of deeth vnto deeth.
And vnto the other parte are we the savoure
of lyfe vnto lyfe. And who is mete vnto these
thinges? For we are not as many are which
choppe and chaunge with the worde of God:
but even oute of purenes / and by the power
of God / and in the sight of God / so speake
we in Christ.
