2 Corinthians 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.	1 But I determined this within myself, not to return again to you in sorrow.
2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?	2 For if I make you sorrowful, then who is it that can make me glad, except the one who is made sorrowful 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.	3 And so, I wrote this same thing to you, so that I might not, when I arrive, add sorrow to sorrow for those with whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you in all things, so that my joy may be entirely yours.
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.	4 For with much tribulation and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not so that you would be sorrowful, but so that you might know the charity that I have more abundantly toward you.
5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.	5 But if anyone has brought sorrow, he has not sorrowed me. Yet, for my part, this is so that I might not burden all of you.
6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.	6 Let this rebuke be sufficient for someone like this, for it has been brought by 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.	7 So then, to the contrary, you should be more forgiving and consoling, lest perhaps someone like this may be overwhelmed with excessive sorrow.
8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.	8 Because of this, I beg you to confirm your charity 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.	9 It was for this reason, also, that I wrote, so that I might know, by testing you, whether you would 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;	10 But anyone whom you have forgiven of anything, I also forgive. And then, too, anyone I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it was done in the person of Christ for your sakes,
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.	11 so that we would not be circumvented by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his intentions.
12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,	12 And when I had arrived at Troas, because of the Gospel of Christ, and a door had opened to me in 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.	13 I had no rest within my spirit, because I was not able to find Titus, my brother. So, saying goodbye to them, I set out for 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.	14 But thanks be to God, who always brings triumph to us in Christ Jesus, and who manifests the fragrance of his knowledge through 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:	15 For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ for God, both with those who are being saved and with those who are perishing.
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?	16 To the one, certainly, the fragrance is of death unto death. But to the other, the fragrance is of life unto life. And concerning these things, who is so suitable?
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.	17 For we are not like many others, adulterating the Word of God. But instead, we speak with sincerity: from God, before God, and in Christ.
