¹But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

¹Bet es pats sevī apņēmos pie jums ar skumjām vairs nenākt.

²For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?

²Jo ja es jūs apbēdinu, tad kas mani iepriecinās, ja ne tas, ko es apbēdināju?

³And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

³Tāpēc es jums to rakstīju, lai, atnākot, man nebūtu bēdas uz bēdām par tiem, par kuriem man vajadzēja priecāties; es uzticos jums visiem, jo mans ir arī jūsu visu prieks.

⁴For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

⁴Jo es jums rakstīju lielās bēdās un sirds bailēs, rūgti raudādams, nevis lai jūs skumtu, bet lai jūs zinātu, cik ļoti es jūs mīlu.

⁵But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

⁵Ja kāds apbēdināja, tad ne mani vien, bet, lai neapvainotu visus, pa daļai arī jūs.

⁶Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.

⁶Tādam pietiek soda, ko vairākums viņam uzlicis.

⁷So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

⁷Pretēji tam labāk piedodiet un ieprieciniet viņu, lai to nenomāc pārāk lielas bēdas!

⁸Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

⁸Tāpēc es jūs uzaicinu, lai jūs parādītu viņam mīlestību.

⁹For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

⁹Jo tamdēļ es jums arī rakstīju, lai pārliecinātos par jums, vai jūs visā esat paklausīgi.

¹⁰To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;

¹⁰Bet kam jūs ko piedevāt, tam arī es piedevu; jo ja es kādam piedevu, tad piedevu jūsu dēļ Kristus vārdā,

¹¹Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

¹¹Lai sātans mūs nepieviltu, jo viņa nodomi mums ir zināmi.

¹²Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

¹²Bet kad es nonācu Troadā Kristus evaņģēlija dēļ un durvis Kungā man bija atvērtas,

¹³I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.

¹³Mans gars neatrada mieru, tāpēc ka nesastapu savu brāli Titu. Atvadījies no viņiem, es aizgāju uz Maķedoniju.

¹⁴Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

¹⁴Bet lai pateicība Dievam, kas mums liek uzvarēt Jēzū Kristū un caur mums izplata Viņa atziņas smaržu visās vietās,

¹⁵For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

¹⁵Jo Dievam mēs esam Kristus labā smarža tiem, kas tiek izglābti, un tiem, kas iet pazušanā:

¹⁶To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

¹⁶Vieniem gan nāves smarža nāvei, bet citiem dzīvības smarža dzīvībai. Un kas tam ir piemērots?

¹⁷For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

¹⁷Mēs neviltojam Dieva vārdu kā daudzi citi, bet mēs runājam no skaidras sirds kā no Dieva, - Dieva priekšā, Kristus vārdā.
