Gani naghunahuna ako nga indi na lang ako magkadto dira sa inyo kon masakit ko man lang liwat ang inyo balatyagon. Kay kon masakit ko ang inyo balatyagon, sin-o na lang ang magahatag sang kalipay sa akon? Wala na! Amo ina ang kabangdanan kon ngaa nagsulat ako anay sa inyo, agod nga kon magkadto ako dira, indi ako mapasubuan sang mga tawo nga amo kuntani ang dapat maghatag sang kalipay sa akon. Kag nagapati ako nga kon malipay ako, kamo malipay man. Pagsulat ko sadto anay sa inyo, natublag kag nasubuan gid ako kag naghibi pa gani. Indi nakon tuyo nga magsakit sang inyo balatyagon, kundi gusto ko lang nga mahibaluan ninyo nga palangga ko gid kamo.

Patawara Ninyo ang Nakasala

Karon, kon parte sa tawo dira nga nakasala, indi lang ako ang iya ginhatagan sang kasubo kundi may ara man siya nga ginhatag nga kasubo sa inyo tanan. Nagasiling ako nga “may ara” kay indi ko gusto pasubrahan. Pero bastante na ang silot nga inyo ginhatag sa iya. Gani patawara na ninyo siya kag palig-una dayon, kay basi kon maapektuhan na gid siya sa sobra nga kasubo. Kag nagapangabay man ako sa inyo nga ipakita ninyo sa iya nga ginapalangga pa ninyo siya. Amo gani ini ang kabangdanan nga nagsulat ako sa inyo, kay gusto ko mahibaluan kon bala masaligan kamo sa pagtuman sang tanan nga akon ginasiling sa inyo. 10 Kon ginapatawad ninyo ang tawo nga nakasala, ginapatawad ko man siya. Kay kon may nakahimo sing sala sa akon ginapatawad ko na siya sa atubangan ni Cristo para sa inyo kaayuhan. 11 Dapat ta himuon ini agod indi kita madaog ni Satanas, kay nahibaluan ta kon ano ang iya mga pahito.

Si Pablo sa Troas

12 Pag-abot ko didto sa Troas agod magwali sang Maayong Balita parte kay Cristo, nakita ko nga ginpreparar na sang Ginoo ang ila mga tagipusuon sa pagpamati sa akon. 13 Pero indi ako mapahamtang kay wala didto si Tito nga akon utod kay Cristo. Gani naglisensya ako sa mga tumuluo didto kag nagkadto sa Macedonia.

Ang Pahamot ni Cristo

14 Salamat sa Dios kay permi siya nagauna sa aton sa parada sang pagdaog. Ginahimo niya ini tungod ara na kita kay Cristo. Ginagamit niya kami sa pagpakilala sa iya sa mga tawo bisan sa diin nga lugar, kag ining amon ginapahibalo pareho sang pahamot. 15 Kay pareho kami sang mahamot nga halad ni Cristo sa Dios nga mapanimahuan sang mga tawo nga nagakalaluwas, kag pati sang mga nagakalawala. 16 Sa mga tawo nga nagakalawala, ang amon ginapalapnag nga kamatuoran pareho sang baho nga halin sa patay nga nagadala sang kamatayon; pero sa mga tawo nga nagakalaluwas, pareho ini sang pahamot nga halin sa buhi nga nagadala sang kabuhi. Ti, sin-o ang makasarang sang sini nga obra? 17 Pero ginpadala kami sang Dios. Kag tungod nga siya nagatulok sa amon, kag kami ara kay Cristo, sinsero kami kon maghambal sang mensahi sang Dios. Indi kami pareho sang iban nga naganegosyo sang mensahi sang Dios agod makuwartahan nila ang mga tawo.

So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.(A) For if I grieve you,(B) who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved? I wrote as I did,(C) so that when I came I would not be distressed(D) by those who should have made me rejoice. I had confidence(E) in all of you, that you would all share my joy. For I wrote you(F) out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.

Forgiveness for the Offender

If anyone has caused grief,(G) he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you to some extent—not to put it too severely. The punishment(H) inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient. Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him,(I) so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. Another reason I wrote you(J) was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.(K) 10 Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11 in order that Satan(L) might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.(M)

Ministers of the New Covenant

12 Now when I went to Troas(N) to preach the gospel of Christ(O) and found that the Lord had opened a door(P) for me, 13 I still had no peace of mind,(Q) because I did not find my brother Titus(R) there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.(S)

14 But thanks be to God,(T) who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma(U) of the knowledge(V) of him everywhere. 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma(W) of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.(X) 16 To the one we are an aroma that brings death;(Y) to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?(Z) 17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit.(AA) On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity,(AB) as those sent from God.(AC)

Paul Urges Forgiveness

But I determined this within myself, (A)that I would not come again to you in sorrow. For if I make you (B)sorrowful, then who is he who makes me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me?

Forgive the Offender

And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, (C)I should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, (D)having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all. For out of much [a]affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you, with many tears, (E)not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you.

But (F)if anyone has caused grief, he has not (G)grieved me, but all of you to some extent—not to be too severe. This punishment which was inflicted (H)by the majority is sufficient for such a man, (I)so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow. Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him. For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are (J)obedient in all things. 10 Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For [b]if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, 11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Triumph in Christ

12 Furthermore, (K)when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and (L)a [c]door was opened to me by the Lord, 13 (M)I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia.

14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us [d]diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ (N)among those who are being saved and (O)among those who are perishing. 16 (P)To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And (Q)who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not, as [e]so many, (R)peddling[f] the word of God; but as (S)of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.
