2:1  But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
2:2  For if I make you sorry, who is he then that makes me glad, but the same who is made sorry by me?
2:3  And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
2:4  For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
2:5  But if any has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overburden you all.
2:6  Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
2:7  So that instead you ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with too much sorrow.
2:8  Therefore I beseech you that you would confirm your love toward him.
2:9  For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether you be obedient in all things.
2:10  To whom you forgive anything, I forgive also: for if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes I forgave it in the person of Christ;
2:11  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
2:12  Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
2:13  I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from there into Macedonia.
2:14  Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the fragrance of his knowledge by us in every place.
2:15  For we are unto God a sweet fragrance of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
2:16  To the one we are the fragrance of death unto death; and to the other the fragrance of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
2:17  For we are not as many, who corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
