1 Сꙋди́хъ же въ себѣ̀ сїѐ, не па́ки ско́рбїю къ ва́мъ прїитѝ. 2 А҆́ще бо а҆́зъ ско́рбь творю̀ ва́мъ, то кто̀ є҆́сть веселѧ́ѧй мѧ̀, то́чїю прїе́млѧй ско́рбь ѿ менє̀; 3 И҆ писа́хъ ва́мъ сїѐ и҆́стое, да не прише́дъ ско́рбь на ско́рбь прїимꙋ̀, ѡ҆ ни́хже подоба́ше мѝ ра́доватисѧ, надѣ́ѧсѧ на всѧ̑ вы̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ моѧ̀ ра́дость всѣ́хъ ва́съ є҆́сть. 4 Ѿ печа́ли бо мно́гїѧ и҆ тꙋгѝ се́рдца написа́хъ ва́мъ мно́гими слеза́ми, не ꙗ҆́кѡ да ѡ҆скорби́тесѧ, но любо́вь да позна́ете, ю҆́же и҆́мамъ и҆з̾ѻби́льнѡ къ ва́мъ. 5 А҆́ще ли кто̀ ѡ҆скорби́лъ (менѐ), не менѐ ѡ҆скорбѝ, но ѿ ча́сти, да не ѡ҆тѧгчꙋ̀ всѣ́хъ ва́съ. 6 Дово́льно (бо) таково́мꙋ запреще́нїе сїѐ, є҆́же ѿ мно́гихъ: 7 тѣ́мже сопроти́вное па́че вы̀ да да́рꙋете и҆ ᲂу҆тѣ́шите, да не ка́кѡ мно́гою ско́рбїю поже́ртъ бꙋ́детъ таковы́й: 8 тѣ́мже молю̀ вы̀, ᲂу҆тверди́те къ немꙋ̀ любо́вь. 9 На сїе́ бо и҆ писа́хъ, да разꙋмѣ́ю и҆скꙋ́сство ва́ше, а҆́ще во все́мъ послꙋшли́ви є҆стѐ. 10 Є҆мꙋ́же а҆́ще что̀ да́рꙋете, и҆ а҆́зъ: и҆́бо а҆́зъ а҆́ще что̀ дарова́хъ, є҆мꙋ́же дарова́хъ, ва́съ ра́ди, ѡ҆ лицы̀ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́вѣ, 11 да не ѡ҆би́дими бꙋ́демъ ѿ сатаны̀: не не разꙋмѣва́емъ бо ᲂу҆мышле́нїй є҆гѡ̀. 12 Прише́дъ же въ трѡа́дꙋ во бл҃говѣ́стїе хрⷭ҇то́во, и҆ две́ри ѿве́рзенѣ мѝ бы́вшей ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ, 13 не и҆мѣ́хъ поко́ѧ дꙋ́хꙋ моемꙋ̀, не ѡ҆брѣ́тшꙋ мѝ ті́та бра́та моегѡ̀: но ѿре́ксѧ и҆̀мъ, и҆зыдо́хъ въ македо́нїю. 14 Бг҃ꙋ же бл҃годаре́нїе, всегда̀ побѣди́тєли на́съ творѧ́щемꙋ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ и҆ воню̀ ра́зꙋма є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆влѧ́ющꙋ на́ми во всѧ́цѣмъ мѣ́стѣ. 15 Ꙗ҆́кѡ хрⷭ҇то́во бл҃гоꙋха́нїе є҆смы̀ бг҃ови въ спаса́емыхъ и҆ въ погиба́ющихъ: 16 ѡ҆́вѣмъ ᲂу҆́бѡ во́нѧ сме́ртнаѧ въ сме́рть, ѡ҆́вѣмъ же во́нѧ живо́тнаѧ въ живо́тъ. И҆ къ си̑мъ кто̀ дово́ленъ; 17 Нѣ́смы бо, ꙗ҆́коже мно́зи, нечи́стѡ проповѣ́дающїи сло́во бж҃їе, но ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ чтⷭ҇оты̀, но ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ бг҃а, пред̾ бг҃омъ, во хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ глаго́лемъ.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 2:12 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Second Corinthians (Homily V)

    These words seem on the one hand to be unworthy of Paul, if because of a brother's absence he threw away so great an opportunity of saving; and on the other, to hang apart from the context. What then?

  2. Quotes verse 2:17 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapters XXV–XXVI)

    … strain also the Apostle Paul, inasmuch as he had a good conscience, said to the Corinthians: "For we are not as many, who corrupt the Word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ;" "We have injured no man, corrupted no man, circumvented no man."

  3. Quotes verse 2:14–16 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter XI — 1-54)

    To the one we are the savor of life unto life, to the other the savor of death unto death: and who is sufficient for these things?" The lesson of the holy Gospel before us affords us the opportunity of so speaking of that savor, that we on our part may give worthy utterance, and you diligent heed, to what …

  4. Quotes verse 2:2 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily VI)

    Now if ye grieve at hearing these things, I thank you much, for "who is he that maketh me glad, but he which is made sorry by me?" Do not then ever cease to grieve and be vexed for them, for the sorrow that comes of such things will be to you a beginning of a change for the better.

    Then on the nostrils; that receiving the sacred ointment ye may say, We are to God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved.
