Notes on this text (3)
- eBible.org's edition in the ekavian pronunciation (e.g. свет, грех); Karadžić and Daničić wrote in ijekavian (свијет, гријех).
- No deuterocanonical books.
- Chapter divisions follow the Hebrew Bible in Job 39–41, Ezekiel 20–21, Hosea 11–12 and Jonah 1–2 (verse numbers there differ from English Bibles).
1 Ово пак судих у себи да опет не дођем к вама у жалости.
1 But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
2 Јер ако ја чиним жалост вама, ко је који ће мене веселити осим оног који прима жалост од мене?
2 For if I make you grieve, then who will make me glad but he who is made to grieve by me?
3 И писах вам ово исто, да кад дођем не примим жалост на жалост, а за које би ваљало да се веселим надајући се на све вас да је моја радост свих вас.
3 And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be shared by all of you.
4 Јер од бриге многе и туге срца написах вам с многим сузама, не да бисте се ожалостили него да бисте познали љубав коју имам изобилно к вама.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made to grieve, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
5 Ако ли је ко мене ражалио, не ражали мене, до неколико, да не отежам свима вама.
5 But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
6 Јер је довољно таквоме кар овај од многих.
6 This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such a one;
7 Зато ви, насупрот, већма да опраштате и тешите, да такав како не падне у превелику жалост.
7 so that, on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
8 Зато вас молим, утврдите к њему љубав.
8 Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.
9 Јер вам зато и писах, да познам поштење ваше јесте ли у свачему послушни.
9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
10 А коме ви шта опростите оном опраштам и ја; јер ја ако шта коме опростих, опростих му вас ради место Исуса Христа,
10 Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
11 да нас не превари сотона; јер знамо шта он мисли.
11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
12 А кад дођох у Троаду да проповедам јеванђеље Христово, и отворише ми се врата у Господу,
12 Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
13 не имадох мира у духу свом, не нашавши Тита, брата свог; него опростивши се с њима изиђох у Македонију.
13 I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn’t find Titus my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
14 Али хвала Богу који свагда нама даје победу у Христу Исусу, и кроз нас јавља мирис познања свог на сваком месту.
14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
15 Јер смо ми Христов мирис Богу и међу онима који се спасавају и који гину:
15 For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God in those who are being saved and in those who perish:
16 Једнима дакле мирис смртни за смрт, а другима мирис животни за живот. И за ово ко је вредан?
16 to the one a stench from death to death, to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
17 Јер ми нисмо као многи који нечисто проповедају реч Божију, него из чистоте, и као из Бога, пред Богом, у Христу говоримо.
17 For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

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).
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?

… 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."
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 …

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.
