Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1So I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.
1εκρινα δε εμαυτω τουτο το μη παλιν εν λυπη προσ υμασ ελθειν
2For if I grieve you, who is left to cheer me but those whom I have grieved?
2ει γαρ εγω λυπω υμασ και τισ εστιν ο ευφραινων με ει μη ο λυπουμενοσ εξ εμου
3I wrote as I did so that on my arrival I would not be saddened by those who ought to make me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would share my joy.
3και εγραψα υμιν τουτο αυτο ινα μη ελθων λυπην εχω αφ ων εδει με χαιρειν πεποιθωσ επι παντασ υμασ οτι η εμη χαρα παντων υμων εστιν
4For through many tears I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart, not to grieve you but to let you know how much I love you.
4εκ γαρ πολλησ θλιψεωσ και συνοχησ καρδιασ εγραψα υμιν δια πολλων δακρυων ουχ ινα λυπηθητε αλλα την αγαπην ινα γνωτε ην εχω περισσοτερωσ εισ υμασ
5Now if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me but all of you—to some degree, not to overstate it.
5ει δε τισ λελυπηκεν ουκ εμε λελυπηκεν αλλα απο μερουσ ινα μη επιβαρω παντασ υμασ
6The punishment imposed on him by the majority is sufficient for him.
6ικανον τω τοιουτω η επιτιμια αυτη η υπο των πλειονων
7So instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
7ωστε τουναντιον μαλλον υμασ χαρισασθαι και παρακαλεσαι μηπωσ τη περισσοτερα λυπη καταποθη ο τοιουτοσ
8Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.
8διο παρακαλω υμασ κυρωσαι εισ αυτον αγαπην
9My purpose in writing you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.
9εισ τουτο γαρ και εγραψα ινα γνω την δοκιμην υμων ει εισ παντα υπηκοοι εστε
10If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven it in the presence of Christ for your sake,
10ω δε τι χαριζεσθε και εγω και γαρ εγω ει τι κεχαρισμαι ω κεχαρισμαι δι υμασ εν προσωπω χριστου
11in order that Satan should not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
11ινα μη πλεονεκτηθωμεν υπο του σατανα ου γαρ αυτου τα νοηματα αγνοουμεν
12Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and a door stood open for me in the Lord,
12ελθων δε εισ την τρωαδα εισ το ευαγγελιον του χριστου και θυρασ μοι ανεωγμενησ εν κυριω
13I had no peace in my spirit, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.
13ουκ εσχηκα ανεσιν τω πνευματι μου τω μη ευρειν με τιτον τον αδελφον μου αλλα αποταξαμενοσ αυτοισ εξηλθον εισ μακεδονιαν
14But thanks be to God, who always leads us triumphantly as captives in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.
14τω δε θεω χαρισ τω παντοτε θριαμβευοντι ημασ εν τω χριστω και την οσμην τησ γνωσεωσ αυτου φανερουντι δι ημων εν παντι τοπω
15For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
15οτι χριστου ευωδια εσμεν τω θεω εν τοισ σωζομενοισ και εν τοισ απολλυμενοισ
16To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; to the other, a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?
16οισ μεν οσμη θανατου εισ θανατον οισ δε οσμη ζωησ εισ ζωην και προσ ταυτα τισ ικανοσ
17For we are not like so many others, who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as men sent from God.
17ου γαρ εσμεν ωσ οι λοιποι καπηλευοντεσ τον λογον του θεου αλλ ωσ εξ ειλικρινειασ αλλ ωσ εκ θεου κατενωπιον του θεου εν χριστω λαλουμεν
