**1 **But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. **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 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 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 **But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. **6 **Sufficient to such a man *is* this punishment, which *was inflicted* of many. **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 ye would confirm *your* love toward him. **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 **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 **Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

**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 taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.

**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 unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: **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, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
