CHAP. II.
1 Hauing shewed the reason why he came not
to them, 6 Hee requireth them to forgiue
and to comfort that excommunicated person,
10 Euen as himselfe also vpon his true
repentance had forgiuen him, 12 declaring
withall why hee departed from Troas to Macedonia,
14 and the happy successe which
God gaue to his preaching in all places.
1
But I determined this
with my selfe, that I
would not come againe to
you in heauinesse.
2
For if I make you
sorie, who is hee then that maketh mee
glad, but the same which is made sorie
by me.
3
And I wrote this same vnto you,
least when I came, I should haue sorrow
from them of whome I ought to
reioyce, hauing confidence in you all,
that my ioy is the ioy of you all.
4
For out of much affliction and anguish
of heart, I wrote vnto you with
many teares, not that you should bee
grieued, but that yee might knowe the
loue which I haue more abundantly
vnto you.
5
But if any haue caused griefe, hee
hath not grieued mee, but in part: that
I may not ouercharge you all.
6
Sufficient to such a man is this note punishment,
which was inflicted of many.
7
So that contrarywise, yee ought
rather to forgiue him, and comfort him,
lest perhaps, such a one should be swallowed
vp with ouermuch sorrow.
A sweet sauour.
8
Wherefore I beseech you, that you
would confirme your loue towards
him.
9
For to this end also did I write,
that I might know the proofe of you,
whether ye be obedient in all things.
10
To whom yee forgiue any thing,
I forgiue also: for if I forgaue any thing,
to whom I forgaue it, for your sakes
forgaue I it, in note the person of Christ,
11
Lest Satan should get an aduantage
of vs: for wee are not ignorant of
his deuices.
12
Furthermore when I came to
Troas, to preach Christs Gospel, and a
doore was opened vnto mee of the
Lord,
13
I had no rest in my spirit, because
I found not Titus my brother, but taking
my leaue of them, I went from
thence into Macedonia.
14
Now thankes bee vnto God,
which alwayes causeth vs to triumph
in Christ, and maketh manifest the sauour
of his knowledge by vs in euery
place.
15
For wee are vnto God, a sweet sauour
of Christ, in them that are saued,
and in them that perish.
16
To the one wee are the sauour of
death vnto death; and to the other, the
sauour of life vnto life: and who is sufficient
for these things?
17
For wee are not as many which
note corrupt the word of God: but as of
sinceritie, but as of God, in the sight of
God speake we in Christ.
