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

English Standard Version ESV

1 For I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.

2 For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?

3 And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

4 For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

5 Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.

6 For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough,

7 so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

8 So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.

9 For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

10 Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,

11 so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.

12 When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord,

13 my spirit was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia.

14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

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

16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

17 For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
