9 For to this end I also wrote, so that I might know that you are proving yourselves by whether you are being obedient in all things.
10 Whomever you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if I forgave someone anything, for your sakes I forgave it in Christ,
11 lest Satan should take advantage of us. For we are not ignorant of his devices.
12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,
13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother. So taking my leave of them, I went from there into Macedonia.
14 Now thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in Christ and through us reveals the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
15 For we are to God a sweet fragrance of Christ among those who are saved and among those who perish.
