2:10 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; |

2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. |

2:14 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 | oti cristou euwdia esmen tw qew en toiV swzomenoiV kai en toiV apollumenoiV
2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: |
16 | oiV men osmh qanatou eiV qanaton oiV de osmh zwhV eiV zwhn kai proV tauta tiV ikanoV
2:16 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 | ou gar esmen wV oi polloi kaphleuonteV ton logon tou qeou all wV ex eilikrineiaV all wV ek qeou katenwpion tou qeou en cristw laloumen
2:17 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. |
