2 Corinthians 2

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 statui autem hoc ipse apud me ne iterum in tristitia venirem ad vos

2 si enim ego contristo vos et quis est qui me laetificet nisi qui contristatur ex me

3 et hoc ipsum scripsi ut non cum venero tristitiam super tristitiam habeam de quibus oportuerat me gaudere confidens in omnibus vobis quia meum gaudium omnium vestrum est

4 nam ex multa tribulatione et angustia cordis scripsi vobis per multas lacrimas non ut contristemini sed ut sciatis quam caritatem habeo abundantius in vobis

5 si quis autem contristavit non me contristavit sed ex parte ut non onerem omnes vos

6 sufficit illi qui eiusmodi est obiurgatio haec quae fit a pluribus

7 ita ut e contra magis donetis et consolemini ne forte abundantiori tristitia absorbeatur qui eiusmodi est

8 propter quod obsecro vos ut confirmetis in illum caritatem

9 ideo enim et scripsi ut cognoscam experimentum vestrum an in omnibus oboedientes sitis

10 cui autem aliquid donatis et ego nam et ego quod donavi si quid donavi propter vos in persona Christi

11 ut non circumveniamur a Satana non enim ignoramus cogitationes eius

12 cum venissem autem Troadem propter evangelium Christi et ostium mihi apertum esset in Domino

13 non habui requiem spiritui meo eo quod non invenerim Titum fratrem meum sed valefaciens eis profectus sum in Macedoniam

14 Deo autem gratias qui semper triumphat nos in Christo Iesu et odorem notitiae suae manifestat per nos in omni loco

15 quia Christi bonus odor sumus Deo in his qui salvi fiunt et in his qui pereunt

16 aliis quidem odor mortis in mortem aliis autem odor vitae in vitam et ad haec quis tam idoneus

17 non enim sumus sicut plurimi adulterantes verbum Dei sed ex sinceritate sed sicut ex Deo coram Deo in Christo loquimur

New International Version NIV

1 So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.

2 For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved?

3 I wrote as I did, so that when I came I would not be distressed by those who should have made me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would all share my joy.

4 For I wrote you 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.

5 If anyone has caused grief, 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 inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient.

7 Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, 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 was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.

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 might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.

12 Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and found that the Lord had opened a door for me,

13 I still had no peace of mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.

14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

16 To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?

17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
