| # Chapter 2
| But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
| For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same who is made sorry by me?
| 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.
| 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.
| But if any hath 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 by many.
| 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.
| Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love towards him.
| For to this end also I wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye 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 I forgave 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 the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened to me by 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 to God, who always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.
| For we are to God a sweet savor of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
| 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?
| For we are not as many, who corrupt the word of God: but as from sincerity, but as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
