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
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.
