¶ The .ij. Chapter.
¶ He sheweth the cause of hys absence ∧ exhorteth
them to forgeue the man that was fallen, ∧
to receaue hym agayne wyth loue.
A But I determined this in my selfe,
that I wold not come agayne
to you in heuynes. For yf I make
you sorye, who is it þt; shuld make
me glad, but the same which is made sory by
me? And I wrote thys same vnto you, lest
yf I came vnto you, I shuld take heuynes
(vpon heuynes) of them, of whom I ought to
reioyce. Thys confidence haue I towarde
you all, that my ioye is the ioye of you all.
For out of great affliccyon and anguysshe
of hert. I wrote vnto you with many teares:
not that ye shulde be made sory, but that
ye myght perceaue the loue, whych I haue,
most specially vnto you.
B If eny man hath caused sorow, the same
hath not made me sory, but partely: lest I
shulde greue you all. noteIt is sufficient vnto
the same man, that he was rebuked of many.
So that now contrary wyse, ye ought
rather to forgeue him, and comforte him: lest
that same persone shuld be swalowed vp &wt;
ouer moch heuynes. Wherfore, I exhorte
you, that loue maye haue strength ouer him.
For this cause verely dyd I wryte, that I
myght knowe the profe of you, whether ye
shulde be obedient in all thynges. To whom
ye forgeue eny thynge, I forgeue also. For
yf I forgaue eny thynge, to whom I forgaue
it, for youre sakes forgaue I it, in the
syght of Christ, lest Satan shuld preuent
vs.
C For his thoughtes are not vnknowen
vnto vs. &cross3;
&cross2; When I was come to Troada for Christes
Gospelles sake (and a dore was opened
vnto me of the Lord) I had no rest in my
sprete, because I founde not Titus my brother:
but toke my leaue of them, and went
awaye into Macedonia. Thankes be vnto
God, which alwayes geueth vs the victorie
in Christ, and openeth the sauer of his knowledge
by vs in euery place. For we are vnto
God the swete sauoure of Christ, amonge
them that are saued, and am&obar;ge them which
perysshe. note
D To the one parte are we the sauour
of deeth vnto deeth. And vnto þe; other
part are we þe; sauour of lyfe vnto lyfe. And
who is mete vnto these thinges? For we are
not as the most part are, which choppe and
chaunge with the worde of God: but eu&ebar; out
of purenes, and by the power of God, in the
syght of God, so speake we in Christ. &cross3;
