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.

ᎯᎠᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏄᏍᏗ ᎡᎩᏚᎢᏍᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᎢᏓᏓᏅᎦᎸ ᎢᏗᎲᎾ ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎦᏓᎭ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎩᏇᏓᎸ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᎦᏓᏅᏙᎩᎯ, ᎢᏗᏍᏆᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎡᏗᎾᏰᏍᎬᎢ.

2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.

ᏗᏍᎩᏯᏓᏂᎸᎩ; ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏣᏘᏂ ᏱᏃᏨᏁᎸ, ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎠᏍᎦᎾ ᏱᏃᏨᏁᎸ, ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᏲᏥᎶᏄᎡᎸ.

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.

ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏂᏥᏪᎭ ᎥᏝ ᏗᏨᏳᎪᏓᏁᏗᏱ ᏯᎩᏰᎸᎭ; ᎦᏳᎳᏰᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᎠᎩᏪᏒ, ᏦᎩᎾᏫᏱ ᎢᏥᏯᎠ, ᎣᎦᏛᏅᎢᏍᏗᏉ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᏗᎩᏂᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᎢᎦᏕᏗᏱ.

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.

ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏨᏲᎢᏳᎭ; ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏨᎸᏉᏗᏍᎪᎢ; ᎠᎩᎧᎵᏨᎯ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎤᏣᏔᏅᎯ ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏓᏅᏔᏩᏕᎪ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎣᏥᎩᎵᏲᏥᏙᎲᎢ.

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.

ᎹᏏᏙᏂᏰᏃ ᏬᎩᎷᏨ, ᎥᏝ ᎣᎩᏇᏓᎸ ᎬᏩᏣᏪᏐᎸᏍᏙᏗ ᏱᎨᏎᎢ, ᎬᏩᏚᎾᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᎣᎦᏕᏯᏙᏗᎬᎩ; ᏙᏱᏗᏢ ᎠᎵᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎭᏫᏂᏃ ᎢᏗᏢ ᎣᏥᎾᏰᏍᎬᎢ.

6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᏗᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᎩ ᎤᏪᎵᎯᏍᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏔᏩᏕᎩ, ᎣᎩᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᏔᏅᎩ ᏓᏓᏏ ᎤᎷᏨᎢ;

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.

ᎥᏝᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎤᎷᏨᏉ ᎤᏩᏒ, ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗᏍᎩᏂ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎤᏓᏅᏓᏛᎢ ᏂᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᎣᎩᏃᏁᎸ ᏂᎯ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏣᏚᎵᏍᎬᎢ, ᎤᏲ ᎢᏥᏰᎸᏒᎯ, ᎤᏣᏘ ᏍᎩᎨᏳᎢᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎠᏆᎵᎮᎵᏨᎩ.

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.

ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎤᏲ ᎢᏨᏯᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏔᏅᎩ ᎪᏪᎵ ᏫᏨᏅᏁᎸᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎤᏲ ᏯᎩᏰᎸᎭ, ᎤᏲᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎠᎩᏰᎸᏒᎩ; ᎢᏥᎪᏩᏘᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᏪᎵ ᎤᏲ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏔᏅᎢ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᏞᎦᏉ.

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.

ᎪᎯᏃ ᏥᎩ ᎦᎵᎡᎵᎦ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᏗᎾ ᎤᏲ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏓᏛ ᏱᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭᏍᎩᏂ ᏗᎨᏥᏁᏟᏴᏍᏗ ᏕᏣᏓ ᏅᏛ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎤᏲ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏓᏛᎢ; ᎤᏲᏰᏃ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏓᏛᎩ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᎬᏩᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏓᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎡᏍᎦ ᎢᏨᏴᏁᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ.

10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

ᎤᏲᏰᏃ ᎠᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᎬᏩᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎦᏁᏟᏴᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏓᏅᏛ ᏩᎵᏰᎢᎶᎯᎭ ᎥᏓᏗᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᏫᎦᎷᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏲ ᎠᏰᎸᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ; ᎡᎶᎯᏍᏗᏂ ᎡᎯ ᎤᏲ ᎠᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏩᎵᏰᎢᎶᎯᎭ.

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.

ᎬᏂᏳᏉᏰᏃ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏲ ᏥᏣᏓᏅᏓᏛᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎬᏩᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᏂᎦᎥ ᎢᏣᎵᏂᎬᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏭᎵᏰᎢᎶᎸ; ᏂᎦᎥ ᏗᏣᏢᏫᏍᏙᏗ ᎢᏥᏲᎲᎢ, ᎥᎥ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎢᏥᏂᏆᏘᎲᎢ, ᎥᎥ, ᏂᎦᎥ ᎢᏥᎾᏰᏍᎬᎢ, ᎥᎥ, ᏂᎦᎥ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏣᏑᎵᏍᎬᎢ, ᎥᎥᎢ, ᏂᎦᎥ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏛᎢ, ᎥᎥ, ᏂᎦᎥ ᎠᏓᏍᏛᏗᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ! ᏂᎦᎥ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᏨᏁᎸ ᏂᏥᏍᎦᏅᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎧᏃᎮᏗ ᏥᎩ.

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.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏄᏍᏗ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᏫᏨᏲᏪᎳᏁᎸᎩ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏣᏘᏂ ᎢᏳᏛᏁᎸᎯ ᏳᎬᏩᎴᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ Ꮎ ᎤᏣᏘᏂ ᎢᏯᎦᏛᏁᎸᎯ ᏳᎬᏩᎴᎢ; ᎠᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏨᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎦᏔᎲ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏣᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗᏱ.

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.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᎯ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᎠᏴ ᎣᎩᎦᎵᏍᏓᏛᎩ; ᎥᎥ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎣᎦᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅᎩ, ᏓᏓᏏ ᎠᎵᎮᎵᎬ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᏅᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏓᏅᏙ ᏂᏥᎥ ᎡᏥᎦᎵᏍᏓᏕᎸᎢ.

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.

ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏥᏯᏢᏈᏎᎸᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᏂᎯ ᎢᏨᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᏱᎦᏕᎣᏍᎦ; ᏂᎦᏗᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎢᏨᏬᏁᏔᏅᎢ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯᏉ ᎣᎦᏢᏆᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏓᏓᏏ ᎣᏣᏢᏆᏎᎸᎢ, ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏯ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅ.

15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.

16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
