OrthJBC - II Corinthians - 2

2:1  For I decided this in myself, not again to come to you in agmat nemesh. [I Cor. 4:21; II Cor. 12:21]

2:2  For if I grieve you, then who is the one cheering me except the one I have caused to have agmat nefesh?

2:3  And I wrote the iggeret as I did, so that when I came, I should not have agmat nefesh from those who should have brought me simchah; for I have bittachon about you all, that my simchah is that of all of you.

2:4  For out of much tzoros and distress of lev (heart) I wrote the iggeret to you with many tears [Acts 20:31], not that you should have agamat nefesh, but that you may have da'as of the ahavah in Hashem which I have more abundantly for all of you. SELICHAH FOR THE OFFENDER

2:5  Now if anyone has caused agmat nefesh, it is not me he has grieved, but -- to some extent, not to be to severe -- he has grieved you all. [I Cor 5:1]

2:6  Sufficient to such a man was this onesh (penalty) by the roiv (majority),

2:7  so that, on the contrary, rather you ought to give selichah and chizzuk to him lest efsher (perhaps) with more abundant agamat nefesh such a one may be swallowed up.

2:8  Therefore I urge you to confirm to him your ahavah (love).

2:9  I wrote the iggeret to this end, that I may have da'as that you are tested and proven, that in all things you have mishma'at (obedience). [II Cor. 7:15; 10:6]

2:10  Now to anyone you give selichah of anything, I do as well, for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sake in the presence of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach;

2:11  lest we should be outsmarted by HaSatan [Luk 22:31]; for we do not lack da'as of his kesharim.

2:12  But having come to Troas for the Besuras Hageulah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and a delet (door) to me having been opened by the Adoneinu, [Yechezkel 20:14; Acts 14:27; I Cor.16:9; Col.4:3; Rev. 3:8]

2:13  I did not have shalom in my neshamah when I was not able to find Titos my ach b'Moshiach. So I took leave of them and I went on to Macedonia. [Acts 20:1] REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S PROGRAM OF KIRUV RECHOKIM (BRINGING NEAR THE FAR WAY ONES) AND HASHEM WHO STANDS BEHIND IT

2:14  But Baruch Hashem, the One in whom didan notzakh (we are victorious) who always leads us in triumph in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and through us, in every place spreads the fragrance of the da'as of him.

2:15  For we are the aroma of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to Hashem among the ones coming to yeshu'at Eloheinu and among the ones perishing; [I Cor. 1:18; Dan. 12:2]

2:16  to the latter ones a fragrance of mavet unto mavet; but to the former ones a fragrance of Chayyim (life) unto Chayyim [Luk 2:34]. Who is sufficient for these things,[II Cor 3:5-6]

2:17  For we are not as many, peddling the dvar Hashem, but as from sincerity, as from Hashem, in the presence of Hashem, in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach we speak. [II Cor. 1:12; I Pet. 4:11]
