2 For I decided this for myself, not to come to you again in sorrow. 2 For if I myself grieve you, then who is the one cheering me up except the one being grieved by me? 3 And I wrote this same thing so that, having come, I might not have sorrow from those in whom it is necessary for me to rejoice, having become confident in all of you that my joy is the joy of all of you. 4 For I wrote to you out of much tribulation and anguish of heart, through many tears, not so that you would be grieved, but so that you might know the love that I have more abundantly for you.
5 But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved only me, but in part—in order that I might not burden all of you. 6 This punishment on such a person by the majority is sufficient, 7 so that, on the contrary, you should rather forgive and comfort him so that such a person might not be overwhelmed in his excessive sorrow. 8 So I urge you to reaffirm your love for him. 9 Indeed, I also wrote for this reason: so that I might know your proof, whether you are obedient in all things. 10 Now to whomever you forgive anything, I also forgive—for indeed, the one I have forgiven (if I have forgiven anything) is for your sake in the presence of Christ 11 so that we would not be taken advantage of by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
12 Now having come to Troas and a door for the gospel of Christ having been opened to me in the Lord, 13 I had no relief in my spirit, as I did not find my brother Titus there. So having said farewell to them, I went on to Macedonia.
14 But thanks be to God, always leading us in triumphal procession in Christ and making known through us the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place. 15 For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among the ones being saved and among the ones perishing—16 to the ones, indeed, an aroma from death to death, but to the others, an aroma from life to life. And for these things, who is sufficient? 17 For we are not like the many peddling the word of God; but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the presence of God in Christ.
