고린도후서 2
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
2 그러므로 나는 여러분에게 다시 가서, 여러분의 마음을 아프게 하는 일은 하지 않기로 결심하였습니다. 2 나를 기쁘게 해 줄 사람은 여러분밖에 없는데, 내가 여러분의 마음을 아프게 하면 누가 나를 기쁘게 해 주겠습니까? 3 내가 여러분을 찾아갈 때, 나를 기쁘게 해 주어야 할 사람들이 나를 슬프게 하는 일은 없어야 한다고 생각했습니다. 내가 기뻐야 여러분 모두도 기뻐하리라고 나는 확신하였습니다. 그래서 나는 여러분을 찾아가는 대신에 그런 편지를 썼던 것입니다. 4 나는 몹시 괴롭고 답답한 마음으로 눈물을 흘리며 그 편지를 썼습니다. 그러나 그것은 여러분의 마음을 아프게 하려는 것이 아니라, 내가 여러분을 얼마나 사랑하는지를 알리려는 것이었습니다.
잘못을 저지른 사람을 용서하라
5 여러분 가운데서 마음 아프게 하는 일을 저지른 사람이 있다면, 그는 내 마음을 아프게 했다기보다는, 적어도 어느 정도는 여러분 모두의 마음을 아프게 하였습니다. 이 말은 결코 부풀려서 하는 말이 아닙니다. 6 그 사람은 이미 여러분 대부분의 뜻에 따라 충분한 벌을 받았습니다. 7 이제 여러분은 그를 용서하고 위로해 주십시오. 그래야 그가 지나친 슬픔에 짓눌리는 일이 없을 것입니다. 8 여러분이 그를 사랑한다는 것을 그에게 다시 확인시켜 주기 바랍니다. 9 내가 여러분에게 편지를 쓴 것은, 여러분이 모든 일에 순종하는가를 시험하여 알아보려는 것이었습니다. 10 여러분이 누구를 용서하면 나도 그 사람을 용서합니다. 내가 용서한 것은 여러분을 위해 그리스도의 권위를 빌려 용서한 것입니다. (혹 용서할 일이 있었다면 말입니다.) 11 그것은, 우리가 사탄의 꾀에 넘어가는 일이 없게 하려는 것입니다. 우리는 사탄의 속셈이 어떤 것인지 잘 알고 있습니다.
드로아에서 바울이 겪은 불안
12 내가 그리스도의 기쁜 소식을 전하려고 드로아에 갔을 때, 주께서 내게 거기서 일할 수 있는 좋은 길을 열어 주셨습니다. 13 그러나 여러분의 소식을 가지고 그곳에 와 있어야 할 형제 디도가 오지 않아서 내 마음이 편치 못했습니다. 그래서 나는 그곳 사람들과 작별 인사를 하고 마케도니아로 갔습니다.
그리스도를 통한 승리
14 그러나 그리스도를 통하여 당신의 개선 행진에 언제나 우리를 포로로 끼워 주시고,[a] 어디를 가든지 우리에게서 그리스도를 아는 지식의 향기가 풍겨나게 하시는 하나님께 감사를 드립니다. 15 우리는 하나님께 바치는 그리스도의 향기입니다. 이 향기는 구원 받을 사람에게나 멸망당할 사람에게나 꼭 같이 풍겨 나옵니다. 16 그러나 멸망당할 사람에게는 죽음을 알리는 무서운 냄새이고, 구원 받을 사람에게는 달콤한 생명의 향기입니다. 그러니 누가 이런 임무를 감당해 낼 수 있겠습니까? 17 많은 사람이 돈을 위해 하나님의 말씀을 팔러 돌아다니는 행상인이 되었습니다. 그러나 우리는 그런 사람들과 같지 않습니다. 우리는 하나님께서 보내신 사람들로서, 하나님께서 지켜보시는 가운데 진실한 마음을 가지고 그리스도의 지시에 따라 하나님의 말씀을 전합니다.

2 Corinthians 2
New International Version
2 1 So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.(A) 2 For if I grieve you,(B) who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved? 3 I wrote as I did,(C) so that when I came I would not be distressed(D) by those who should have made me rejoice. I had confidence(E) in all of you, that you would all share my joy. 4 For I wrote you(F) out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.
Forgiveness for the Offender
5 If anyone has caused grief,(G) he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you to some extent—not to put it too severely. 6 The punishment(H) inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient. 7 Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him,(I) so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8 I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. 9 Another reason I wrote you(J) was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.(K) 10 Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11 in order that Satan(L) might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.(M)
Ministers of the New Covenant
12 Now when I went to Troas(N) to preach the gospel of Christ(O) and found that the Lord had opened a door(P) for me, 13 I still had no peace of mind,(Q) because I did not find my brother Titus(R) there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.(S)
14 But thanks be to God,(T) who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma(U) of the knowledge(V) of him everywhere. 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma(W) of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.(X) 16 To the one we are an aroma that brings death;(Y) to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?(Z) 17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit.(AA) On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity,(AB) as those sent from God.(AC)
2 Corinthians 2
King James Version
2 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
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.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
10 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;
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
13 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.
14 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.
15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
16 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?
17 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.
2 Corinthians 2
New King James Version
Paul Urges Forgiveness
2 But I determined this within myself, (A)that I would not come again to you in sorrow. 2 For if I make you (B)sorrowful, then who is he who makes me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me?
Forgive the Offender
3 And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, (C)I should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, (D)having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all. 4 For out of much [a]affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you, with many tears, (E)not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you.
5 But (F)if anyone has caused grief, he has not (G)grieved me, but all of you to some extent—not to be too severe. 6 This punishment which was inflicted (H)by the majority is sufficient for such a man, 7 (I)so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow. 8 Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him. 9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are (J)obedient in all things. 10 Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For [b]if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, 11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Triumph in Christ
12 Furthermore, (K)when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and (L)a [c]door was opened to me by the Lord, 13 (M)I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia.
14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us [d]diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ (N)among those who are being saved and (O)among those who are perishing. 16 (P)To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And (Q)who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not, as [e]so many, (R)peddling[f] the word of God; but as (S)of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.
