2 Corinthians 2

Catholic Public Domain Bible	Modern Greek Bible
¹ But I determined this within myself, not to return again to you in sorrow.	¹ Απεφασισα δε τουτο κατ' εμαυτον, το να μη ελθω παλιν προς εσας με λυπην.
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?	² Διοτι εαν εγω σας λυπω, και τις ειναι ο ευφραινων εμε ειμη ο λυπουμενος υπ' εμου;
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.	³ Και εγραψα προς εσας τουτο αυτο, ωστε οταν ελθω να μη εχω λυπην απ' εκεινων, αφ' ων επρεπε να εχω χαραν, εχων πεποιθησιν εις παντας υμας οτι η χαρα μου ειναι παντων υμων.
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.	⁴ Διοτι εκ πολλης θλιψεως και στενοχωριας καρδιας εγραψα προς εσας μετα πολλων δακρυων, ουχι δια να λυπηθητε, αλλα δια να γνωρισητε την αγαπην, ην εχω περισσοτερως εις εσας.
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.	⁵ Αλλ' εαν τις ελυπησε, δεν ελυπησεν εμε, ειμη κατα μερος, δια να μη επιβαρυνω παντας υμας.
⁶ Let this rebuke be sufficient for someone like this, for it has been brought by many.	⁶ Αρκετον ειναι εις τον τοιουτον αυτη η επιπληξις η υπο των πλειοτερων?
⁷ So then, to the contrary, you should be more forgiving and consoling, lest perhaps someone like this may be overwhelmed with excessive sorrow.	⁷ ωστε το εναντιον πρεπει μαλλον να συγχωρησητε αυτον, και να παρηγορησητε, δια να μη καταποθη ο τοιουτος υπο της υπερβαλλουσης λυπης.
⁸ Because of this, I beg you to confirm your charity toward him.	⁸ Δια τουτο σας παρακαλω να βεβαιωσητε προς αυτον την αγαπην σας.
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.	⁹ Επειδη δια τουτο και εγραψα, δια να γνωρισω την δοκιμασιαν σας, αν ησθε κατα παντα υπηκοοι?
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,	¹⁰ εις οντινα δε συγχωρειτε τι, συγχωρω και εγω? διοτι εαν εγω συνεχωρησα τι, εις οντινα συνεχωρησα, δια σας εκαμον τουτο ενωπιον του Χριστου,
¹¹ so that we would not be circumvented by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his intentions.	¹¹ δια να μη υπερισχυση καθ' ημων ο Σατανας? διοτι δεν αγνοουμεν τα διανοηματα αυτου.
¹² And when I had arrived at Troas, because of the Gospel of Christ, and a door had opened to me in the Lord,	¹² Οτε δε ηλθον εις την Τρωαδα δια να κηρυξω το ευαγγελιον του Χριστου, και ηνοιχθη εις εμε θυρα εν Κυριω,
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.	¹³ δεν ελαβον ανεσιν εις το πνευμα μου, διοτι δεν ευρον Τιτον τον αδελφον μου, αλλ' αποχαιρετησας αυτους εξηλθον εις Μακεδονιαν.
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.	¹⁴ Πλην χαρις εις τον Θεον, οστις παντοτε καμνει ημας να βριαμβευωμεν δια του Χριστου και φανερονει εν παντι τοπω δι' ημων την οσμην της γνωσεως αυτου?
¹⁵ For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ for God, both with those who are being saved and with those who are perishing.	¹⁵ διοτι του Χριστου ευωδια ειμεθα προς τον Θεον εις τους σωζομενους και εις τους απολλυμενους?
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?	¹⁶ εις τουτους μεν οσμη θανατου δια θανατον, εις εκεινους δε οσμη ζωης δια ζωην. Και προς ταυτα τις ειναι ικανος;
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.	¹⁷ Διοτι ημεις καθως οι πολλοι δεν καπηλευομεν τον λογον του Θεου, αλλ' ως απο ειλικρινειας, αλλ' ως απο Θεου κατενωπιον του Θεου λαλουμεν εν Χριστω.
