2 Corinthians 2:5
Print
But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part” that I may not overburden you all.
But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all.
But if someone has caused [all this] sorrow, he has caused it not to me, but in some degree—not to put it too severely—[he has distressed and grieved] all of you.
But if someone [the one among you who committed incest] has caused [all this] grief and pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure, not to put it too severely, [he has distressed] all of you.
But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
If anyone has caused pain, he has caused pain not so much to me but to some degree—not to exaggerate—to all of you.
But if someone has made anyone sad, that person hasn’t hurt me but all of you to some degree (not to exaggerate).
Now if someone has been a cause of pain, it is not I whom he has pained, but, in some measure — I don’t want to overstate it — all of you.
I don't want to be hard on you. But if one of you has made someone feel bad, I am not really the one who has been made to feel bad. Some of you are the ones.
But if any one has grieved, he has grieved, not me, but in part (that I may not overcharge [you]) all of you.
But if anyone has caused-grief, he has grieved not me, but in part (that I not be a burden), you all.
And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me; but in part, that I may not burden you all.
Someone in your group has caused sadness—not to me, but to all of you. I mean he has caused sadness to all in some way. (I don’t want to make it sound worse than it really is.)
Someone among you has done things that have made other people sad. That person has made me sad. But really he has made all of you much more sad than me. I do not want to say more about this than is necessary.
Now if anyone has caused sorrow, he has not done it to me, but to all of you to some extent (not to overstate it).
Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.
Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.
·Someone [L If someone…; C evidently the ringleader who opposed Paul on his previous visit (v. 1)] there among you has caused sadness, ·not [L …it is not] to me, but to all of you. I mean he caused sadness to all ·in some way [or to some extent]. (I do not want to ·make it sound worse than it really is [exaggerate; put it too severely].)
And if any hath caused sorrow, the same hath not made me sorry, but partly (lest I should more charge him) you all.
If someone caused distress, I’m not the one really affected. To some extent—although I don’t want to emphasize this too much—it has affected all of you.
Now, if anyone has made somebody sad, he has not done it to me but to all of you—in part, at least. (I say this because I do not want to be too hard on him.)
If anyone has caused pain, he has caused pain not so much to me but to some degree—not to exaggerate—to all of you.
Someone there among you has caused sadness. He caused this not to me, but to all of you—I mean he caused sadness to all in some way. (I do not want to make it sound worse than it really is.)
But if anyone has caused grief, he didn’t cause me any grief. To some extent—I don’t want to emphasize this too much—it has affected all of you.
There was a reason for my stern words; this is my advice now. If the behaviour of a certain person has caused distress, it does not mean so much that he has injured me, but that to some extent (I do not wish to exaggerate), he has injured all of you. But now I think that the punishment you have inflicted on him has been sufficient. Now is the time to offer him forgiveness and comfort, for it is possible for a man in his position to be completely overwhelmed by remorse. I ask you to show him plainly now that you love him. My previous letter was something of a test—I wanted to make sure that you would follow my orders implicitly. If you will forgive a certain person, rest assured that I forgive him too. Insofar as I had anything personally to forgive, I do forgive him, as before Christ. We don’t want Satan to win any victory here, and well we know his methods!
¶ But if any have caused me grief, he has not grieved me, but in part, that I may not put a burden on you all.
But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degree—in order not to say too much—to all of you.
But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has not caused me sorrow, but to some degreein order not to say too muchto all of you.
Remember that the man I wrote about, who caused all the trouble, has not caused sorrow to me as much as to all the rest of you—though I certainly have my share in it too. I don’t want to be harder on him than I should. He has been punished enough by your united disapproval.
Now, regarding the one who started all this—the person in question who caused all this pain—I want you to know that I am not the one injured in this as much as, with a few exceptions, all of you. So I don’t want to come down too hard. What the majority of you agreed to as punishment is punishment enough. Now is the time to forgive this man and help him back on his feet. If all you do is pour on the guilt, you could very well drown him in it. My counsel now is to pour on the love.
But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but to some extent all of you, not to put it too severely.
But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not for me, but in some measure—not to overstate the case—for all of you.
If someone caused distress, I’m not the one really affected. To some extent—although I don’t want to emphasize this too much—it has affected all of you.

Someone there among you has caused sadness, not to me, but to all of you. I mean he caused sadness to all in some way. (I do not want to make it sound worse than it really is.)
But if anyone has caused sadness, he has not saddened me alone, but to some extent (not to exaggerate) he has saddened all of you as well.
Suppose someone has made us sad. In some ways, he hasn’t made me sad so much as he has made all of you sad. But I don’t want to put this too strongly.
If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you to some extent—not to put it too severely.
If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you to some extent – not to put it too severely.
But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent—not to be too severe.
If someone among you has brought sorrow, he has not made me as sad as he has all of you. I say this so I may not make it hard for you.
I am not overstating it when I say that the man who caused all the trouble hurt all of you more than he hurt me.
But if any man has caused grief, he has not grieved me but in part – lest I should overburden you all.
But if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but to some extent—not to exaggerate it—to all of you.
But if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but to some extent—not to exaggerate it—to all of you.

But if anyone has caused sadness, it isn’t me that he has saddened, but, in a measure (I don’t want to emphasize this too much), all of you.
Now if anyone has caused agmat nefesh (grief), it is not me he has grieved, but to some extent, not to be too severe he has grieved you all. [1C 5:1]
And if any have caused grief, the same has not grieved me, but partly (lest I overstate it) you all.
But if any one has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to you all.
But if any one has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to you all.
But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but to some extent—not to exaggerate—to all of you.
But if anyone has caused harm, he has not so much harmed me as he has—and I don’t think I’m exaggerating here—harmed all of you.
But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
That man has been punished enough by what most of you did to him.
For if any man hath made me sorrowful, he hath not made me sorrowful but a part [he hath not made me sorrowful but in part], that I charge not you all.
And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;
