1 So|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1161" made|strong="G1161" up|strong="G3361" my|strong="G1722" mind that|strong="G3588" I|strong="G1161" would|strong="G2064" not|strong="G3361" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G4314" you|strong="G5210" again|strong="G3825" in|strong="G1722" sorrow|strong="G3077".
2 For|strong="G1063" if|strong="G1487" I|strong="G1473" make|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" sorrowful|strong="G3076", who|strong="G5101" is|strong="G3588" there|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" make|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473" glad|strong="G2165" but|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" one|strong="G3588" whom|strong="G5101" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G2532" made|strong="G3076" sorrowful|strong="G3076"?
3 That|strong="G3754" is|strong="G1510" why|strong="G2443" I|strong="G1473" wrote|strong="G1125" to|strong="G2443" you|strong="G5210" as|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" did|strong="G2532", so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G3754" when|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" came|strong="G2064" I|strong="G1473" would|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" have|strong="G2192" sorrow|strong="G3077" from|strong="G2064" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3739" ought|strong="G1163" to|strong="G2443" make|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473" rejoice|strong="G5463". I|strong="G1473" had|strong="G2192" confidence|strong="G3982" about|strong="G1909" you|strong="G5210" all|strong="G3956" that|strong="G3754" my|strong="G1699" joy|strong="G5479" would|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" yours|strong="G4771".
4 For|strong="G1063" I|strong="G3739" wrote|strong="G1125" to|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5210" out|strong="G1537" of|strong="G1537" great|strong="G4183" distress|strong="G2347" and|strong="G2532" anguish|strong="G4928" of|strong="G1537" heart|strong="G2588" and|strong="G2532" with|strong="G1537" many|strong="G4183" tears|strong="G1144", not|strong="G3756" to|strong="G1519" cause|strong="G1223" you|strong="G5210" sorrow|strong="G3076", but|strong="G2532" to|strong="G1519" let|strong="G1097" you|strong="G5210" know|strong="G1097" the|strong="G2532" abundant|strong="G4056" love I|strong="G3739" have|strong="G2192" for|strong="G1063" you|strong="G5210".
5 Now|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1487" anyone|strong="G5100" has|strong="G5100" caused|strong="G3076" sorrow|strong="G3076", he|strong="G1161" has|strong="G5100" caused|strong="G3076" it|strong="G1161" not|strong="G3756" to|strong="G2443" me|strong="G1473", but|strong="G1161" in|strong="G3956" some|strong="G5100" measure (not|strong="G3756" to|strong="G2443" put|strong="G3956" it|strong="G1161" too|strong="G1912" severely) to|strong="G2443" all|strong="G3956" of|strong="G5100" you|strong="G5210".
6 This|strong="G3778" punishment|strong="G2009" by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G3588" majority|strong="G4183" is|strong="G3588" enough|strong="G2425" for|strong="G3778" that|strong="G3588" person|strong="G5108".
7 So|strong="G2532" you|strong="G4771" should|strong="G3588" forgive|strong="G5483" and|strong="G2532" comfort|strong="G3870" him|strong="G3588" instead|strong="G3123", so|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" he|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" be|strong="G2532" overwhelmed|strong="G2666" with|strong="G2532" excessive|strong="G4053" sorrow|strong="G3077".
8 Therefore|strong="G1352" I|strong="G1352" urge|strong="G3870" you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G1519" reaffirm|strong="G2964" your|strong="G3870" love for|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3870".
9 I|strong="G2532" wrote|strong="G1125" to|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5210" because|strong="G1063" I|strong="G2532" wanted to|strong="G1519" test|strong="G1382" your|strong="G2532" character|strong="G1382" and|strong="G2532" see|strong="G1097" if|strong="G1487" you|strong="G5210" would|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" obedient|strong="G5255" in|strong="G1519" everything|strong="G3956".
10 Now|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1487" you|strong="G5210" forgive|strong="G5483" anyone|strong="G5100" of|strong="G1223" anything|strong="G5100", I|strong="G1473" also|strong="G2532" forgive|strong="G5483" him|strong="G3739". For|strong="G1063" if|strong="G1487" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G2532" forgiven|strong="G5483" anyone|strong="G5100" of|strong="G1223" anything|strong="G5100", I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G2532" done it|strong="G2532" for|strong="G1063" your|strong="G1223" sakes|strong="G1223" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" presence|strong="G4383" of|strong="G1223" Christ|strong="G5547",
11 so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" we|strong="G1063" might not|strong="G3756" be|strong="G3756" exploited by|strong="G5259" Satan|strong="G4567". For|strong="G1063" we|strong="G1063" are|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" ignorant|strong="G3361" of|strong="G5259" his|strong="G5259" schemes|strong="G3540".
12 Now|strong="G1161" when|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1473" came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" Troas|strong="G5174" to|strong="G1519" preach the|strong="G1722" gospel|strong="G2098" of|strong="G2532" Christ|strong="G5547", a|strong="G2532" door|strong="G2374" was|strong="G3588" opened for|strong="G1519" me|strong="G1473" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962".
13 But|strong="G3361" I|strong="G1473" had|strong="G2192" no|strong="G3756" rest|strong="G2192" in|strong="G1519" my|strong="G1473" spirit|strong="G4151" because|strong="G2192" I|strong="G1473" did|strong="G3361" not|strong="G3756" find|strong="G2147" my|strong="G1473" brother Titus|strong="G5103". So|strong="G1519" I|strong="G1473" took|strong="G2192" leave|strong="G1831" of|strong="G4151" the|strong="G1519" people|strong="G3361" there|strong="G3361" and|strong="G4151" went|strong="G1831" on|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" Macedonia|strong="G3109".
14 But|strong="G1161" thanks|strong="G5485" be|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316", who|strong="G3588" always|strong="G3842" leads|strong="G2358" us|strong="G2249" in|strong="G1722" triumphal procession in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547", and|strong="G2532" through|strong="G1223" us|strong="G2249" spreads the|strong="G1722" fragrance|strong="G3744" of|strong="G1223" the|strong="G1722" knowledge|strong="G1108" of|strong="G1223" Christ|strong="G5547" everywhere.
15 For|strong="G3754" we|strong="G3754" are|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" sweet fragrance|strong="G2175" of|strong="G2316" Christ|strong="G5547" ascending to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316" among|strong="G1722" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G1510" being|strong="G1510" saved|strong="G4982" and|strong="G2532" among|strong="G1722" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G1510" perishing;
16 to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" latter|strong="G3303" we|strong="G3739" are|strong="G3739" a|strong="G2532" smell of|strong="G1537" death|strong="G2288" leading|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" death|strong="G2288", but|strong="G1161" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" former we|strong="G3739" are|strong="G3739" a|strong="G2532" fragrance|strong="G3744" of|strong="G1537" life|strong="G2222" leading|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" life|strong="G2222". And|strong="G2532" who|strong="G3739" is|strong="G5101" equal to|strong="G1519" such|strong="G3778" a|strong="G2532" task?
17 For|strong="G1063" we|strong="G1063" are|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" like|strong="G5613" others|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" peddle the|strong="G1722" word|strong="G3056" of|strong="G1537" God|strong="G2316" for|strong="G1063" profit. On|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" contrary|strong="G2316", in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" we|strong="G1063" speak|strong="G2980" with|strong="G1722" sincerity|strong="G1505" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" presence|strong="G2713" of|strong="G1537" God|strong="G2316", as|strong="G5613" men|strong="G3588" sent|strong="G2316" from|strong="G1537" God|strong="G2316".
