- But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
- Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
- So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
- Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
- For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
|
- But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degree--in order not to say too much--to all of you.
- Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,
- so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
- Wherefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.
- For to this end also I wrote, so that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.
|
- To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
- Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
- Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
- 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.
- Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
|
- But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
- so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
- Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,
- I had no rest for my spirit, not finding Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I went on to Macedonia.
- But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.
|
- For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
- To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
- For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
|
- For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;
- to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life And who is adequate for these things?
- For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.
