| 7:1 | Therefore, having these promises, greatly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the reverence of God. |
| 7:2 | Receive us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one. |
| 7:3 | I do not say this to condemn you; because I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together with you. |
| 7:4 | Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation. |
| 7:5 | Because, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears. |
| 7:6 | Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, |
| 7:7 | and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind towards me, so that I rejoiced even more. |
| 7:8 | Because, even though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. Because, I perceive that the same letter made you sorry, though only for a season. |
| 7:9 | Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. Because you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. |
| 7:10 | Because, godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. |
| 7:11 | Because, observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: yes what diligence it produced in you, yes what clearing of yourselves, yes what indignation, yes what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you have proven yourselves to be clear in this matter. |
| 7:12 | Therefore, although I wrote to you, I did not do it because of him who had done the wrong, nor because of him who suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you. |
| 7:13 | Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. And we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. |
| 7:14 | Because, if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I am not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting which I made before Titus was found true. |
| 7:15 | And his inner affections are greater for you as he remembers the obedience of you all, how with reverence and trembling you received him. |
| 7:16 | Therefore I rejoice that I have confidence in you in all things. |
| 7:1 | Seing then we haue these promises, dearely beloued, let vs clense our selues from all filthinesse of the flesh and spirit, and finish our sanctification in the feare of God. |
| 7:2 | Receiue vs: we haue done wrong to no man: we haue corrupted no man: we haue defrauded no man. |
| 7:3 | I speake it not to your condemnation: for I haue said before, that ye are in our hearts, to die and liue together. |
| 7:4 | I vse great boldnesse of speach toward you: I reioyce greatly in you: I am filled with comfort, and am exceeding ioyous in all our tribulation. |
| 7:5 | For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on euery side, fightings without, and terrours within. |
| 7:6 | But God, that comforteth the abiect, comforted vs at the comming of Titus: |
| 7:7 | And not by his comming onely, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted of you, when he tolde vs your great desire, your mourning, your feruent minde to me warde, so that I reioyced much more. |
| 7:8 | For though I made you sorie with a letter, I repent not, though I did repent: for I perceiue that the same epistle made you sorie, though it were but for a season. |
| 7:9 | I nowe reioyce, not that ye were sorie, but that ye sorowed to repentance: for ye sorowed godly, so that in nothing ye were hurt by vs. |
| 7:10 | For godly sorowe causeth repentance vnto saluation, not to be repented of: but the worldly sorowe causeth death. |
| 7:11 | For beholde, this thing that ye haue bene godly sory, what great care it hath wrought in you: yea, what clearing of yourselues: yea, what indignation: yea, what feare: yea, howe great desire: yea, what a zeale: yea, what reuenge: in all things ye haue shewed your selues, that ye are pure in this matter. |
| 7:12 | Wherefore, though I wrote vnto you, I did not it for his cause that had done the wrong, neither for his cause that had the iniurie, but that our care toward you in the sight of God might appeare vnto you. |
| 7:13 | Therefore we were comforted, because ye were comforted: but rather we reioyced much more for the ioye of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. |
| 7:14 | For if that I haue boasted any thing to him of you, I haue not bene ashamed: but as I haue spoken vnto you all things in trueth, euen so our boasting vnto Titus was true. |
| 7:15 | And his inwarde affection is more aboundant toward you, when he remembreth the obedience of you all, and howe with feare and trembling ye receiued him. |
| 7:16 | I reioyce therefore that I may put my confidence in you in all things. |
| 7:1 | Seynge that we have soche promeses derely beloved let vs clense oure selves from all fylthynes of the flesshe and sprete and growe vp to full holynes in ye feare of God. |
| 7:2 | Vnderstonde vs. we have hurte no man: we have corrupte no man: we have defrauded no man. |
| 7:3 | I speake not this to condempne you: for I have shewed you before yt ye are in oure hertes to dye and live with you. |
| 7:4 | I am very bolde over you and reioyce greatly in you. I am filled with comforte and am excadinge ioyouse in all oure tribulacions. |
| 7:5 | For when we were come into Macedonia oure flesshe had no rest but we were troubled on every syde. Outwarde was fightynge inwarde was feare. |
| 7:6 | Neverthelesse God that comfortith the abiecte comforted vs at the commynge of Titus. |
| 7:7 | And not with his commynge only: but also with the consolacion wherwith he was comforted of you. For he tolde vs youre desyre youre mornynge youre fervent mynde to me warde: so that I now reioyce the more. |
| 7:8 | Wherfore though I made you sory with a letter I repent not: though I did repent. For I perceave that ye same pistle made you sory though it were but for a ceason. |
| 7:9 | But I now reioyce not that ye were sory but that ye so sorowed that ye repented. For ye sorowed godly: so yt in nothynge ye were hurte by vs. |
| 7:10 | For godly sorowe causeth repentaunce vnto salvacion not to be repented of: when worldly sorow causeth deeth. |
| 7:11 | Beholde what diligence this godly sorowe that ye toke hath wrought in you: yee it caused you to cleare youre selves. It caused indignacion it caused feare yt caused desyre it caused a fervent mynde it caused punysshment. For in all thynges ye have shewed youreselues that ye were cleare in that matter. |
| 7:12 | Wherfore though I wrote vnto you I did it not for his cause that did hurte nether for his cause that was hurte: but that oure good mynde whych we have towarde you in the sight of god myght appere vnto you. |
| 7:13 | Therfore we are comforted because ye are comforted: yee and excedyngly the moare ioyed we for the ioye that Titus had: because his sprete was refresshed of you all. |
| 7:14 | I a therfor not now ashamed though I bosted my sylfe to hym of you. For as all thynges which I preached vnto you are true even so is oure bostynge that I bosted my silfe to Titus wt all founde true. |
| 7:15 | And now is his inwarde affection more aboundant towarde you when he remembreth the obedience of every one of you: how with feare and trymblynge ye receaved hym. |
| 7:16 | I reioyce that I maye be bolde over you in all thynges. |
