2 Corinthians 2
Wycliffe Bible

2 And I ordained this [same] thing at me, that I should not come again in heaviness to you [in sorrow to you].

2 For if I make you sorry, who is he that gladdeth me, but he that is sorrowful of me?

3 And this same thing I wrote to you, that when I come, I have not sorrow on sorrow, of the which it behooved me to have joy. And I trust in you all, that my joy is of all you[a].

4 For of much tribulation and anguish of heart I wrote to you by many tears, not that ye be sorry, but that ye know what charity I have more plenteously in you.

5 For if any man hath made me sorrowful, he hath not made me sorrowful but a part [he hath not made me sorrowful but in part], that I charge not you all.

6 This blaming that is made of many, sufficeth to him, that is such one [that is such a manner man];

7 so that on the contrary ye rather forgive and comfort, lest peradventure he that is such a manner man, be swallowed up [be sopped up, or despair,] by more great heaviness.

8 For which thing I beseech you, that ye confirm charity into him.

9 For why therefore [and] I wrote this, that I know your proof, whether in all things ye be obedient.

10 For to whom ye have forgiven any thing, also I have forgiven. For I, that that I forgave, if I forgave any thing, have forgiven for you in the person of Christ,

11 that we be not deceived of Satan; for we know his thoughts. [that we be not deceived of Satan; soothly we unknow not his thoughts.]

12 But when I was come to Troas [Forsooth when I had come to Troas] for the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened to me in the Lord,

13 I had not rest to my spirit, for I found not my brother Titus, but I said to them farewell, and I passed into Macedonia. [I had not rest in my spirit, for I found not my brother Titus, but I saying to them farewell, passed into Macedonia.]

14 And I do thankings to God, that evermore maketh us to have victory in Christ Jesus, and showeth by us the odour of his knowing in each place;[b]

15 for we be the good odour of Christ to God, among these that be made safe, and among these that perish. [for we be the good odour, or savour, of Christ to God, in these that be made safe, and in these that perish.]

16 To others soothly odour of death into death [Soothly to others we be odour of death into death], but to the others we be odour of life into life. And to these things who is so able?

17 For we be not as many, that do adultery by the word of God, but we speak of cleanness, as of God, before God in Christ. [Soothly we be not as full many, adulterating the word of God, but of cleanness, but as of God, before God in Christ we speak.]

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 Corintios 2
Nueva Biblia de las Américas

Problemas en la iglesia de Corinto

2 Pero en mí mismo decidí esto: no ir otra vez a ustedes(A) con tristeza. 2 Porque si yo les causo tristeza(B), ¿quién será el que me alegre sino aquel a quien yo entristecí? 3 Y esto mismo les escribí(C), para que cuando yo llegue no tenga tristeza de parte de los que debieran alegrarme(D), confiando en todos ustedes(E) de que mi gozo sea el mismo de todos ustedes. 4 Pues por la mucha aflicción y angustia de corazón les escribí con muchas lágrimas, no para entristecerlos(F), sino para que conozcan el amor que tengo especialmente por ustedes.

5 Pero si alguien ha causado tristeza, no me la ha causado a mí, sino hasta cierto punto, para no exagerar[a], a todos ustedes(G). 6 Es suficiente para tal persona este castigo(H) que le fue impuesto por la mayoría; 7 así que, por el contrario, ustedes más bien debieran perdonarlo(I) y consolarlo, no sea que en alguna manera este[b] sea abrumado por tanta[c] tristeza.

8 Por lo cual les ruego que reafirmen su amor hacia él. 9 Pues también con este fin les escribí(J), para ponerlos a prueba[d](K) y ver si son obedientes en todo(L). 10 Pero a quien perdonen algo, yo también lo perdono. Porque en verdad, lo que yo he perdonado, si algo he perdonado, lo hice por ustedes en presencia de Cristo[e](M), 11 para que Satanás(N) no tome ventaja sobre nosotros, pues no ignoramos sus planes(O).

De Troas a Macedonia

12 Cuando llegué a Troas(P) para predicar el evangelio de Cristo(Q), y se me abrió una puerta en el Señor(R), 13 no tuve reposo en mi espíritu al no encontrar a Tito(S), mi hermano. Despidiéndome, pues, de ellos(T), salí para Macedonia(U).

Triunfantes en Cristo

14 Pero gracias a Dios(V), que en Cristo siempre nos lleva en triunfo(W), y que por medio de nosotros manifiesta la fragancia(X) de Su conocimiento(Y) en todo lugar. 15 Porque fragante aroma[f](Z) de Cristo somos para Dios entre los que se salvan y entre los que se pierden(AA). 16 Para unos, olor de muerte para muerte, y para otros, olor de vida para vida(AB). Y para estas cosas, ¿quién está capacitado(AC)? 17 Pues no somos como muchos, que comercian[g] la palabra de Dios(AD), sino que con sinceridad(AE), como de parte de Dios, hablamos en Cristo delante de Dios(AF).

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.
