Seconda lettera ai Corinzi - 2 Corinthians 2

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Απεφασισα δε τουτο κατ' εμαυτον, το να μη ελθω παλιν προς εσας με λυπην.	1 But I determined this with myself, not to come to you again in sorrow.
2 Διοτι εαν εγω σας λυπω, και τις ειναι ο ευφραινων εμε ειμη ο λυπουμενος υπ' εμου;	2 For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me?
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.	3 And I wrote this same to you; that I may not, when I come, have sorrow upon sorrow, from them of whom I ought to rejoice: having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
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.	4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you should be made sorrowful: but that you might know the charity I have more abundantly towards you.
5 Αλλ' εαν τις ελυπησε, δεν ελυπησεν εμε, ειμη κατα μερος, δια να μη επιβαρυνω παντας υμας.	5 And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me; but in part, that I may not burden you all.
6 Αρκετον ειναι εις τον τοιουτον αυτη η επιπληξις η υπο των πλειοτερων?	6 To him who is such a one, this rebuke is sufficient, which is given by many:
7 ωστε το εναντιον πρεπει μαλλον να συγχωρησητε αυτον, και να παρηγορησητε, δια να μη καταποθη ο τοιουτος υπο της υπερβαλλουσης λυπης.	7 So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8 Δια τουτο σας παρακαλω να βεβαιωσητε προς αυτον την αγαπην σας.	8 Wherefore, I beseech you, that you would confirm your charity towards him.
9 Επειδη δια τουτο και εγραψα, δια να γνωρισω την δοκιμασιαν σας, αν ησθε κατα παντα υπηκοοι?	9 For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things.
10 εις οντινα δε συγχωρειτε τι, συγχωρω και εγω? διοτι εαν εγω συνεχωρησα τι, εις οντινα συνεχωρησα, δια σας εκαμον τουτο ενωπιον του Χριστου,	10 And to whom you have pardoned any thing, I also. For, what I have pardoned, if I have pardoned any thing, for your sakes have I done it in the person of Christ.
11 δια να μη υπερισχυση καθ' ημων ο Σατανας? διοτι δεν αγνοουμεν τα διανοηματα αυτου.	11 That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices.
12 Οτε δε ηλθον εις την Τρωαδα δια να κηρυξω το ευαγγελιον του Χριστου, και ηνοιχθη εις εμε θυρα εν Κυριω,	12 And when I was come to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened unto me in the Lord,
13 δεν ελαβον ανεσιν εις το πνευμα μου, διοτι δεν ευρον Τιτον τον αδελφον μου, αλλ' αποχαιρετησας αυτους εξηλθον εις Μακεδονιαν.	13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but bidding them farewell, I went into Macedonia.
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?	14 Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place.
15 διοτι του Χριστου ευωδια ειμεθα προς τον Θεον εις τους σωζομενους και εις τους απολλυμενους?	15 For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish.
16 εις τουτους μεν οσμη θανατου δια θανατον, εις εκεινους δε οσμη ζωης δια ζωην. Και προς ταυτα τις ειναι ικανος;	16 To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient?
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.	17 For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God; but with sincerity, but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak.
