1 And I judged this with myself, to not come again to you in sorrow.
2 For if I sorrow you, who then rejoices me - except whomever I sorrowed?
3 And I scribe this same to you, lest, when I come, I have sorrow from whom I needed cheer; having confidence in you all, that my cheer is of you all.
4 For from much tribulation and oppression of heart I scribed to you through many tears; not to sorrow you - but that you know the love I have more superabundantly to you.

FORGIVING THE OFFENDER
And if anyone sorrows he sorrows not me - except partly: that I not overburden you all. 6 Sufficient to such a one is this disesteeming by many. 7 So that contrariwise rather grant him charism and console him; lest somehow such a one is swallowed with superabundant sorrow. 8 So I beseech you to confirm your love to him. 9 For this I also scribe, to know the proof of you - whether you be obedient in all. 10 To whom you somewhat grant charism - I also: for if I somewhat grant charism I grant charism for your sakes in the face of Messiah; 11 lest Satan defraud us: for we are not unknowing of his comprehensions. 12 And when I came to Troas to evangelize the Messiah and a portal was opened to me in Adonay, 13 I had no relaxation in my spirit; because I found not Titus my brother: but bidding them bye bye, I went from there into Macedonia. 14
THE TRIUMPHANT IN THE MESSIAH
And charism be to Elohim, who always causes us to triumph in the Messiah and manifests the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place. 15 For to Elohim we are a good fragrance of Messiah - in them who are saved and in them who destruct: 16 indeed to the one the fragrance of death to death; and to the other the fragrance of life to life. And who is adequate for these? 17 For we are not as many who huckster the word of Elohim: but as of sincerity - but as of Elohim, in the sight of Elohim we speak in Messiah.
