2 Corintios 2
Reina-Valera 1960
2 Esto, pues, determiné para conmigo, no ir otra vez a vosotros con tristeza. 2 Porque si yo os contristo, ¿quién será luego el que me alegre, sino aquel a quien yo contristé? 3 Y esto mismo os escribí, para que cuando llegue no tenga tristeza de parte de aquellos de quienes me debiera gozar; confiando en vosotros todos que mi gozo es el de todos vosotros. 4 Porque por la mucha tribulación y angustia del corazón os escribí con muchas lágrimas, no para que fueseis contristados, sino para que supieseis cuán grande es el amor que os tengo.
Pablo perdona al ofensor
5 Pero si alguno me ha causado tristeza, no me la ha causado solo a mí, sino en cierto modo (por no exagerar) a todos vosotros. 6 Le basta a tal persona esta reprensión hecha por muchos; 7 así que, al contrario, vosotros más bien debéis perdonarle y consolarle, para que no sea consumido de demasiada tristeza. 8 Por lo cual os ruego que confirméis el amor para con él. 9 Porque también para este fin os escribí, para tener la prueba de si vosotros sois obedientes en todo. 10 Y al que vosotros perdonáis, yo también; porque también yo lo que he perdonado, si algo he perdonado, por vosotros lo he hecho en presencia de Cristo, 11 para que Satanás no gane ventaja alguna sobre nosotros; pues no ignoramos sus maquinaciones.
Ansiedad de Pablo en Troas
12 Cuando llegué a Troas para predicar el evangelio de Cristo, aunque se me abrió puerta en el Señor, 13 no tuve reposo en mi espíritu, por no haber hallado a mi hermano Tito; así, despidiéndome de ellos, partí para Macedonia.(A)
Triunfantes en Cristo
14 Mas a Dios gracias, el cual nos lleva siempre en triunfo en Cristo Jesús, y por medio de nosotros manifiesta en todo lugar el olor de su conocimiento. 15 Porque para Dios somos grato olor de Cristo en los que se salvan, y en los que se pierden; 16 a estos ciertamente olor de muerte para muerte, y a aquellos olor de vida para vida. Y para estas cosas, ¿quién es suficiente? 17 Pues no somos como muchos, que medran falsificando la palabra de Dios, sino que con sinceridad, como de parte de Dios, y delante de Dios, hablamos en Cristo.

2 En efecto, decidí no hacerles otra visita que causara tristeza. 2 Porque, si yo los entristezco, ¿quién me brindará alegría, sino aquel a quien yo haya entristecido? 3 Escribí como lo hice para que, al llegar yo, los que debían alegrarme no me causaran tristeza. Estaba confiado de que todos ustedes harían suya mi alegría. 4 Escribí con gran tristeza y angustia de corazón y con muchas lágrimas, no para entristecerlos, sino para darles a conocer la profundidad del amor que les tengo.
Perdón para el pecador
5 Si alguno ha causado tristeza, no me la ha causado solo a mí; hasta cierto punto —y lo digo para no exagerar— se la ha causado a todos ustedes. 6 Para él es suficiente el castigo que le impuso la mayoría. 7 Más bien debieran perdonarlo y consolarlo para que no sea consumido por la excesiva tristeza. 8 Por eso les ruego que reafirmen su amor hacia él. 9 Con este propósito escribí: para ver si pasan la prueba de la completa obediencia. 10 A quien ustedes perdonen, yo también lo perdono. De hecho, si había algo que perdonar, lo he perdonado por consideración a ustedes en presencia de Cristo, 11 para que Satanás no se aproveche de nosotros, pues no ignoramos sus artimañas.
Ministros del nuevo pacto
12 Ahora bien, cuando llegué a Troas para predicar el evangelio de Cristo, descubrí que el Señor me había abierto una puerta. 13 Aun así, me sentí intranquilo por no haber encontrado allí a mi hermano Tito, por lo cual me despedí de ellos y me fui a Macedonia.
14 Sin embargo, gracias a Dios que en Cristo siempre nos lleva triunfantes[a] y, por medio de nosotros, esparce por todas partes la fragancia de su conocimiento. 15 Porque para Dios nosotros somos el aroma de Cristo entre los que se salvan y entre los que se pierden. 16 Para estos somos olor de muerte que los lleva a la muerte; para aquellos, olor de vida que los lleva a la vida. ¿Y quién es competente para semejante tarea? 17 A diferencia de muchos, nosotros no somos de los que trafican con la palabra de Dios. Más bien, hablamos con sinceridad delante de él en Cristo, como enviados de Dios que somos.

2 Corinthians 2
EasyEnglish Bible
2 Corinthians 2
EasyEnglish Bible
2 Because of that, I decided not to visit you again at that time. I did not want to make you sad. 2 You are the only people who can make me happy. So, if I make you sad, there will be nobody to make me happy. 3 That is why I did not visit you. I wrote that letter to you instead. You are the people who should make me happy. I did not want you to make me sad when I visited you. I felt sure about all of you. I knew that, if I was happy, then all of you would be happy too.
4 When I wrote that letter, I was very sad and upset. I cried a lot. I did not want to make you sad. Instead, I wanted you to know that I love you very much.
5 Someone among you has done things that have made other people sad. That person has made me sad. But really he has made all of you much more sad than me. I do not want to say more about this than is necessary. 6 Most of you have agreed to punish him. That should be enough. 7 Now, you should forgive him. You should comfort him. If you do not do that, he may become too sad. He may not be able to think properly. 8 So I tell you this: Please show him that you really do love him.
9 When I wrote that letter to you, I wanted to know what you would do. I wanted to see if you would do everything that I told you. 10 When you forgive anyone, I also forgive that person. Whatever bad thing somebody has done, I have Christ's authority to forgive them. And I do it to help you. 11 We do not want Satan to win against us. He is very clever. We know how he likes to cause us to have trouble.
The good news about Christ
12 I went to Troas city to tell people the good news about Christ.[a] When I arrived there, I discovered that the Lord had already prepared people to listen. 13 But I was not happy in my thoughts because I could not find my friend Titus there. So I said ‘goodbye’ to those people and I travelled on to Macedonia.
14 But I thank God! He has won against sin, because of what Christ has done. Christ is our leader and we show that he is the winner. We also help people to know about Christ. That knowledge is like a lovely smell that comes to people everywhere. 15 When we tell people about Christ, we are like a lovely smell that rises up to God. We are like that among the people that God is saving. We are also like that among the people who are dying because they are far from God. 16 For the people who are dying, we are like a bad smell that brings a message of death. But for the people that God is saving, we are like a lovely smell that brings a message of new life.
Nobody is really good enough to tell such an important message! 17 Some people even tell God's message because they want to get a lot of money for themselves. But we are not like them. No, God himself has sent us to do this work. And he sees what we are doing. So we are honest and we speak God's message clearly, as Christ's servants should do.

2 Corinthians 2
King James Version
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 International Version
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)
