| 2:15 | for we ben the good odour of Crist to God, among these that ben maad saaf, and among these that perischen. |
| 2:16 | To othere sotheli odour of deth in to deth, but to othere we ben odour of lijf in to lijf. And to these thingis who is so able? |
| 2:17 | For we ben not as many, that don auoutrie bi the word of God, but we speken of clennesse, as of God, bifor God in Crist. |
| 2:1 | Bvt I determined thus in my selfe, that I would not come againe to you in heauinesse. |
| 2:2 | For if I make you sorie, who is he then that shoulde make me glad, but ye same which is made sorie by me? |
| 2:3 | And I wrote this same thing vnto you, lest when I came, I should take heauines of them, of whom I ought to reioyce: this confidence haue I in you all, that my ioye is the ioye of you all. |
| 2:4 | For in great affliction, and anguish of heart I wrote vnto you with many teares: not that yee should be made sorie, but that ye might perceiue the loue which I haue, specially vnto you. |
| 2:5 | And if any hath caused sorowe, the same hath not made mee sorie, but partly (lest I should more charge him) you all. |
| 2:6 | It is sufficient vnto the same man, that hee was rebuked of many. |

| 2:8 | Wherefore, I pray you, that you woulde confirme your loue towards him. |
| 2:9 | For this cause also did I write, that I might knowe the proofe of you, whether yee would be obedient in all things. |
| 2:10 | To whome yee forgiue any thing, I forgiue also: for verely if I forgaue any thing, to whome I forgaue it, for your sakes forgaue I it in the sight of Christ, |
| 2:11 | Lest Satan should circumuent vs: for we are not ignorant of his enterprises. |
| 2:12 | Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christs Gospell, and a doore was opened vnto me of the Lord, |
| 2:13 | I had no rest in my spirit, because I founde not Titus my brother, but tooke my leaue of them, and went away into Macedonia. |
| 2:14 | Now thankes be vnto God, which alwaies maketh vs to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the sauour of his knowledge by vs in euery place. |
| 2:15 | For wee are vnto God the sweete sauour of Christ, in them that are saued, and in them which perish. |
| 2:16 | To the one we are the sauour of death, vnto death, and to the other the sauour of life, vnto life: and who is sufficient for these things? |
| 2:17 | For wee are not as many, which make marchandise of the woorde of God: but as of sinceritie, but as of God in ye sight of God speake we in Christ. |
| 2:1 | But I determined this within myself, that I would not come again to you in sorrow. |

| 2:3 | And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from those of whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all. |
| 2:4 | Because, out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you, with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you. |
| 2:5 | But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, except partially; so that I may not be harsh to you all. |
| 2:6 | This punishment which was inflicted by many is sufficient for such a man, |
| 2:7 | so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with too much sorrow. |
| 2:8 | Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him. |
| 2:9 | Because, this is why I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things. |
| 2:10 | To whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. Because, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I forgive it, I have forgiven it for your sakes in the person of Christ, |
| 2:11 | lest Satan should get a favorable position over us; because we are not ignorant of his devices. |
| 2:12 | Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord, |
| 2:13 | I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed from there into Macedonia. |
| 2:14 | Now thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the fragrance of His knowledge in every place through us. |
| 2:15 | Because, we are to God the sweet fragrance of Christ among those who are saved and among those who are perishing. |
| 2:16 | To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? |
| 2:17 | Because, we are not, like so many, who corrupt the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ. |
