절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	I have decided not to make my next visit with you so painful.	But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
2	If I make you feel bad, who would be left to cheer me up, except the people I had made to feel bad?	For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
3	The reason I want to be happy is to make you happy. I wrote as I did because I didn't want to visit you and be made to feel bad, when you should make me feel happy.	And 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.
4	At the time I wrote, I was suffering terribly. My eyes were full of tears, and my heart was broken. But I didn't want to make you feel bad. I only wanted to let you know how much I cared for you.	For 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.
5	Forgiveness I don't want to be hard on you. But if one of you has made someone feel bad, I am not really the one who has been made to feel bad. Some of you are the ones.	But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
6	Most of you have already pointed out the wrong that person did, and this is punishment enough for what was done.	Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
7	When people sin, you should forgive and comfort them, so they won't give up in despair.	So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8	You should make them sure of your love for them.	Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
9	I also wrote because I wanted to test you and find out if you would follow my instructions.	For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
10	I will forgive anyone you forgive. Yes, for your sake and with Christ as my witness, I have forgiven whatever needed to be forgiven.	To 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;
11	I have done this to keep Satan from getting the better of us. We all know what goes on in his mind.	Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
12	When I went to Troas to preach the good news about Christ, I found that the Lord had already prepared the way.	Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
13	But I was worried when I didn't find my friend Titus there. So I left the other followers and went on to Macedonia.	I 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.
14	I am grateful that God always makes it possible for Christ to lead us to victory. God also helps us spread the knowledge about Christ everywhere, and this knowledge is like the smell of perfume.	Now 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.
15	—	For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
16	In fact, God thinks of us as a perfume that brings Christ to everyone. For people who are being saved, this perfume has a sweet smell and leads them to a better life. But for people who are lost, it has a bad smell and leads them to a horrible death. No one really has what it takes to do this work.	To 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?
17	A lot of people try to get rich from preaching God's message. But we are God's sincere messengers, and by the power of Christ we speak our message with God as our witness.	For 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.
