Korinćanima 2 2
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
2 Tako sam, dakle, odlučio da vas ne žalostim kad ponovo dođem k vama. 2 Jer, ako ja rastužim vas, tko će onda razvedriti mene ako ne vi koje sam rastužio? 3 A pisao sam vam tako da me ne bi, kad dođem k vama, rastužili oni koji bi me trebali razveseliti. Vjerovao sam da će svima vama biti drago ako budem zadovoljan. 4 Pisao sam vam u velikoj tuzi, slomljenog srca i u suzama, ne da bih vam nanio bol, nego da biste znali koliko je velika moja ljubav prema vama.
Opraštanje
5 No, ako je tko koga rastužio, nije rastužio mene, nego donekle sve vas—ne želim pretjerivati. 6 Ova kazna, koju je većina dosudila čovjeku o kojem govorim, dovoljna je. 7 Umjesto toga, oprostite mu i ohrabrite ga, da ga ne bi svladala pretjerana tuga. 8 Zato vas molim, iskažite mu ljubav. 9 Evo zašto sam vam pisao: da vas ispitam i vidim hoćete li biti poslušni u svemu. 10 Ako vi nekome oprostite, opraštam mu i ja. A što sam oprostio—ako sam imao išta—to sam, pred Kristom, napravio radi vas, 11 da nas ne nadmudri Sotona jer vrlo dobro znamo njegove nakane.
U Troadi
12 Došao sam u Troadu da propovijedam Radosnu vijest o Kristu. Iako mi je Gospodin dao priliku da ondje služim, 13 bio sam jako zabrinut jer tamo nisam našao svoga brata Tita. Tako sam se pozdravio s njima i otišao u Makedoniju.
Pobjeda u Kristu
14 Ali, hvala Bogu koji nas po Kristu uvijek vodi u pobjedu. On kroz nas svuda širi znanje o sebi, poput ugodnog mirisa. 15 Mi smo Bogu ugodan Kristov miris, kako među onima koji su na putu spasenja tako i među onima koji su na putu uništenja. 16 Onima koji su na putu propasti to je smrad smrti koji vodi u smrt, a onima koji su na putu spasenja to je miris života koji vodi u život. Tko je sposoban za takav zadatak? 17 Nismo oni koji trguju Božjom riječju zbog dobitka, kao što mnogi rade. Ne, mi u Kristu govorimo iskreno, znajući da govorimo od Boga poslani i u Božjoj prisutnosti.
2 Corinthians 2
New King James Version
Paul Urges Forgiveness
2 But I determined this within myself, (A)that I would not come again to you in sorrow. 2 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
3 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. 4 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.
5 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. 6 This punishment which was inflicted (H)by the majority is sufficient for such a man, 7 (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. 8 Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him. 9 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.
