DOUAI-RHEIMSKING JAMES BIBLE
1 But I determined this with myself, not to come to you again in sorrow.1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
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?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 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.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 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.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 And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me; but in part, that I may not burden you all.5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
6 To him who is such a one, this rebuke is sufficient, which is given by many:6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
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.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 you would confirm your charity towards him.8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
9 For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things.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 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.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 That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices.11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
12 And when I was come to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened unto me in the Lord,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 bidding them farewell, I went into Macedonia.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 to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place.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 the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish.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 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?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, adulterating the word of God; but with sincerity, but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak.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.
