2 Corinthians 7
2Co 7:1 Having
therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all
defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of
God.
2Co 7:2 Open your
hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took
advantage of no one.
2Co 7:3 I say this not
to condemn you, for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to
die together and live together.
2Co 7:4 Great is my
boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I
am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
2Co 7:5 For even when
we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were
afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
2Co 7:6 Nevertheless,
he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
2Co 7:7 and not by his
coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in
you, while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal
for me; so that I rejoiced still more.
2Co 7:8 For though I
made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did
regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a
while.
2Co 7:9 I now rejoice,
not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to
repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might
suffer loss by us in nothing.
2Co 7:10 For godly
sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the
sorrow of the world works death.
2Co 7:11 For behold,
this same thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way, what
earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear,
longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated
yourselves to be pure in the matter.
2Co 7:12 So although I
wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for
his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us
might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
2Co 7:13 Therefore we
have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly
for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you
all.
2Co 7:14 For if in
anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not
disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our
glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
2Co 7:15 His affection
is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your
obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
2Co 7:16 I rejoice that
in everything I am of good courage concerning you.

that I the more rejoiced.
and
not only in his presence, but also in the comfort with which he was
comforted
over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation,
your zeal for me,
so
that the more I did rejoice,
2
Corinthians 7 8
For
though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I
did regret it. For I see that
my letter made you sorry, though just for a while.
For
if also I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret [it], if even I
have regretted it; for I
see
that that letter, if even [it were] only for a time, grieved you.
because
even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not repent -- if even I
did
repent
-- for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, did make you
sorry.
2
Corinthians 7 9
I
now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made
sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a Godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in
nothing.
Now
I rejoice, not that ye have been grieved, but that ye have been
grieved to
repentance;
for ye have been grieved according to God, that in nothing ye might
be
I
now do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made
sorry to
reformation,
for ye were made sorry toward God, that in nothing ye might receive
damage from us;
2
Corinthians 7 10
For
Godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret.
But the sorrow of the world
works death.
For
grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be
regretted; but the
grief
of the world works death.
for
the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of
doth
work,
and the sorrow of the world doth work death,
2
Corinthians 7 11
For
behold, this same thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way,
what earnest care it
worked
in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and
vengeance! In everything you
demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
For,
behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how
much diligence
it
wrought in *you*, but [what] excusing [of yourselves], but [what]
indignation, but
[what]
fear, but [what] ardent desire, but [what] zeal, but [what]
vengeance: in every way
ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
for,
lo, this same thing -- your being made sorry toward God -- how much
diligence
it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but
longing
desire,
but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to
be pure
in
the matter.
2
Corinthians 7 12
So
although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the
wrong, nor for his cause that suffered
the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you
in the sight of God.
So
then, if also I wrote to you, [it was] not for the sake of him that
injured, nor for the
sake
of him that was injured, but for the sake of our diligent zeal for
you being
manifested
to you before God.
If,
then, I also wrote to you -- not for his cause who did wrong, nor
for his cause
who
did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being
manifested unto
you
before God --
2
Corinthians 7 13
Therefore
we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more
exceedingly for the joy of
Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
For
this reason we have been encouraged. And we the rather rejoiced in
our
encouragement
more abundantly by reason of the joy of Titus, because his spirit
has been
refreshed by you all.
because
of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly
the
more
did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been
refreshed from
you
all;
2
Corinthians 7 14
For
if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not put to
shame. But as we spoke all
things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before
Titus was found to be truth.
Because
if I boasted to him anything about you, I have not been put to
shame; but as we
have
spoken to you all things in truth, so also our boasting to Titus has
been [the] truth;
because
if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I was not put to
shame;
but
as all things in truth we did speak to you, so also our boasting
before Titus
became
truth,
2
Corinthians 7 15
His
affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of
your obedience, how with
fear and trembling you received him.
and
his affections are more abundantly towards you, calling to mind the
obedience of you
all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
and
his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the
obedience
of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive him;
2
Corinthians 7 16
I
rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
I
rejoice that in everything I am confident as to you.
I
rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.
