CHAP. II.
1 Having shown the reason why he came not to
them, 6 he requireth them to forgive and to
comfort that excommunicated person, 10
even as he himself also, upon his true repentance,
had forgiven him: 12 declaring
also why he departed from Troas to Macedonia,
14 and the happy success which God
gave to his preaching in all places.
1 But I determined this with myself,
that I would not come again to you
in heaviness.
2 For if I make you sorry, who is he
then that maketh me glad, but the same
who is made sorry by me?
3 And I wrote this same to you, lest,
coming I should have sorrow from them
by whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence
in you all, that my joy is the joy
of you all.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish
of heart I wrote to you with many
tears; not that ye should be grieved, but
that ye might know the love which I
have more abundantly to you.
5 But if any hath caused grief, he hath
not grieved me, but in part: that I may
not overcharge you all.
6 Sufficient to such a man is this note punishment,
which was inflicted by many.
7 So that on the other hand, ye ought
rather to forgive him, and comfort him,
lest perhaps such one should be swallowed
up with excessive sorrow.
8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye
would confirm your love towards him.
9 For to this end also I wrote, that I
might know the proof of you, whether
ye are obedient in all things.
10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I
forgive also: for if I forgave any thing,
to whom I forgave it, for your sakes I
forgave it, note in the person of Christ;
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage
of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas
to preach the gospel of Christ, and a door
was opened to me by the Lord,
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.
14 Now thanks be to God, who always
causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh
manifest the savor of his knowledge
by us in every place.
15 For we are to God a sweet savor of
Christ, in them that are saved, and in
them that perish:
16 To the one we are the savor of
death to death; and to the other the savor
of life to life. And who is sufficient
for these things?
17 For we are not as many, who note note corrupt
the word of God: but as from sincerity,
but as from God, in the sight of
God we speak in Christ.
