Notes on this text (1)
- New Testament only; original spelling.
1 But I determened this in my silfe that I wolde not come agayne to you in hevines.
1 ESTO pues determiné para conmigo, no venir otra vez á vosotros con tristeza.
2 For yf I make you sorye who is it that shuld make me glad but the same which is made sory by me?
2 Porque si yo os contristo, ¿quién será luego el que me alegrará, sino aquel á quien yo contristare?
3 And I wrote this same pistle vnto you lest yf I came I shuld take hevynes of them of whom I ought to reioyce. Certaynly this confidence have I in you all that my ioye is the ioye of you all.
3 Y esto mismo os escribí, porque cuando llegare no tenga tristeza sobre tristeza de los que me debiera gozar; confiando en vosotros todos que mi gozo es [el] de todos vosotros.
4 For in great affliccion and anguysshe of hert I wrote vnto you with many teares: not to make you sory but that ye myght perceave the love which I have most specially vnto you.
4 Porque por la mucha tribulación y angustia del corazón os escribí con muchas lágrimas; no para que fueseis contristados, mas para que supieseis cuánto más amor tengo para con vosotros.
5 If eny man hath caused sorow the same hath not made me sory but partely: lest I shuld greve you all.
5 Que si alguno [me] contristó, no me contristó á mí, sino en parte, por no cargaros, á todos vosotros.
6 It is sufficient vnto the same man that he was rebuked of many. So that now contrary wyse ye ought to forgeve him and comforte him:
6 Bástale al tal esta reprensión [hecha] de muchos;
7 lest that same persone shuld be swalowed vp with over moche hevines.
7 Así que, al contrario, vosotros más bien lo perdonéis y consoléis, porque no sea el tal consumido de demasiada tristeza.
8 Wherfore I exhorte you that love maye have stregth over him.
8 Por lo cual os ruego que confirméis el amor para con él.
9 For this cause verely dyd I write that I myght knowe the profe of you whether ye shuld be obediet in all thinges.
9 Porque también por este fin [os] escribí, para tener experiencia de vosotros si sois obedientes en todo.
10 To whom ye forgeve enythinge I forgeve also. And verely if I forgeve enythinge to whom I forgave it for youre sakes forgave I it in the roume of Christ
10 Y al que vosotros perdonareis, yo también: porque también yo lo que he perdonado, si algo he perdonado, por vosotros [lo he hecho] en persona de Cristo;
11 lest Satan shuld prevet vs. For his thoughtes are not vnknowen vnto vs.
11 Porque no seamos engañados de Satanás: pues no ignoramos sus maquinaciones.
12 When I was come to Troada for Christes gospels sake (and a great dore was openned vnto me of the Lorde)
12 Cuando vine á Troas para el evangelio de Cristo, aunque me fué abierta puerta en el Señor,
13 I had no rest in my sprete because I founde not Titus my brother: but toke my leave of them and went awaye into Macedonia.
13 No tuve reposo en mi espíritu, por no haber hallado á Tito mi hermano: así, despidiéndome de ellos, partí para Macedonia.
14 Thankes be vnto God which alwayes geveth vs the victorie in Christ and openeth the saver of his knowledge by vs in every place.
14 Mas á Dios gracias, el cual hace que siempre triunfemos en Cristo Jesús, y manifiesta el olor de su conocimiento por nosotros en todo lugar.
15 For we are vnto God the swete savoure of Christ both amonge them that are saved and also amonge them which perisshe.
15 Porque para Dios somos buen olor de Cristo en los que se salvan, y en los que se pierden:
16 To the one parte are we the savoure of deeth vnto deeth. And vnto the other parte are we the savoure of lyfe vnto lyfe. And who is mete vnto these thinges?
16 A éstos ciertamente olor de muerte para muerte; y á aquéllos olor de vida para vida. Y para estas cosas ¿quién es suficiente?
17 For we are not as many are which choppe and chaunge with the worde of God: but even oute of purenes and by the power of God and in the sight of God so speake we in Christ.
17 Porque no somos como muchos, mercaderes falsos de la palabra de Dios: antes con sinceridad, como de Dios, delante de Dios, hablamos en Cristo.

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.
