2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
has igitur habentes promissiones carissimi mundemus nos ab omni inquinamento carnis et spiritus perficientes sanctificationem in timore Dei
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
capite nos neminem laesimus neminem corrupimus neminem circumvenimus
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.
non ad condemnationem dico praedixi enim quod in cordibus nostris estis ad conmoriendum et ad convivendum
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.
multa mihi fiducia est apud vos multa mihi gloriatio pro vobis repletus sum consolatione superabundo gaudio in omni tribulatione nostra
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.
nam et cum venissemus Macedoniam nullam requiem habuit caro nostra sed omnem tribulationem passi foris pugnae intus timores
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
sed qui consolatur humiles consolatus est nos Deus in adventu Titi
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.
non solum autem in adventu eius sed etiam in solacio quo consolatus est in vobis referens nobis vestrum desiderium vestrum fletum vestram aemulationem pro me ita ut magis gauderem
8 For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
quoniam et si contristavi vos in epistula non me paenitet et si paeniteret videns quod epistula illa et si ad horam vos contristavit
9 I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
nunc gaudeo non quia contristati estis sed quia contristati estis ad paenitentiam contristati enim estis secundum Deum ut in nullo detrimentum patiamini ex nobis
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
quae enim secundum Deum tristitia est paenitentiam in salutem stabilem operatur saeculi autem tristitia mortem operatur
11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
ecce enim hoc ipsum secundum Deum contristari vos quantam in vobis operatur sollicitudinem sed defensionem sed indignationem sed timorem sed desiderium sed aemulationem sed vindictam in omnibus exhibuistis vos incontaminatos esse negotio
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.
igitur et si scripsi vobis non propter eum qui fecit iniuriam nec propter eum qui passus est sed ad manifestandam sollicitudinem nostram quam pro vobis habemus ad vos coram Deo
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.
ideo consolati sumus in consolatione autem nostra abundantius magis gavisi sumus super gaudium Titi quia refectus est spiritus eius ab omnibus vobis
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.
et si quid apud illum de vobis gloriatus sum non sum confusus sed sicut omnia vobis in veritate locuti sumus ita et gloriatio nostra quae fuit ad Titum veritas facta est
15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
et viscera eius abundantius in vos sunt reminiscentis omnium vestrum oboedientiam quomodo cum timore et tremore excepistis eum
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
gaudeo quod in omnibus confido in vobis
