5 But if any one hath caused grief, he hath not grieved me (only), but a part of you all: that the word may not weigh upon [fn] you. ⁶ But sufficient for him was this chastisement, which was from many.⁷ And now on the other hand it behoves you to forgive him and console him, lest he who is such an one be swallowed up of excessive grief.⁸ Therefore I entreat of you to confirm to him your love.⁹ On this account also I have written, to ascertain by experiment whether in every thing you will obey me.¹⁰ 10 But to whom you forgive, I also. For I, too, what I have forgiven, have on your account forgiven in the presence [fn] of the Meshiha: ¹¹ lest Satana get the advantage of you; for we know his devices.

¹² WHEN, in preaching the gospel of the Meshiha, I had come to Troas, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,¹³ I had no rest in my spirit because I found not Titos my brother. But leaving them, I went forth to Makedunia.¹⁴ But thanks unto Aloha, who in all time maketh us a triumph in the Meshiha, and maketh manifest by us the perfume of his knowledge in every place.¹⁵ For we are a fragrant perfume in the Meshiha unto Aloha in those who are saved, and in those who perish.¹⁶ To these as a perfume of death unto death, and to those as a perfume of life unto life. And unto these who is equal?¹⁷ For we are not as the rest who commix the word of Aloha; but as in truth, and as from Aloha, before Aloha in the Meshiha do we speak.
