2 Corinthians 7

1 These therefore having promises, beloved, we may cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in [the] fear of God.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 do make room for us; no [one] we have wronged, no [one] we have corrupted, no [one] we have exploited.

Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man.

3 For condemnation not I speak; I have before said for that in the hearts of us you are for [us] to die together and to live together.

I say it not to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die together and live together.

4 Great [is] my boldness toward you, great my boasting on behalf of you; I have been filled with encouragement, I overabound with joy upon all the affliction of us.

Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

5 And for when were coming we into Macedonia none (did have *NK+o) rest the flesh of us but in every [way] we are being pressed: outside conflicts, within fears.

For even when we were come into Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but [we were] afflicted on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears.

6 But the [One] comforting the downcast comforted us God by the coming of Titus;

Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, [even] God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

7 not only now by the coming of him, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted as to you relating to us your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so as for me [the] more to rejoice.

and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced yet more.

8 For if even I have grieved you in the letter, not I do regret [it]; If even I was regreting [it], I see indeed that the letter that if even for an hour grieved you,

For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret [it] (for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season),

9 Now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved unto repentance; you were grieved for according to God, so that in nothing you may suffer loss through us.

I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing.

10 The for according to God grief repentance to salvation without regret (produces, *N+kO) and the of the world grief death produces.

For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, [a repentance] which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

11 Behold for this very same [thing] according to God to have been grieved (by you *K) how much has produced in you earnestness, but instead reasoned defense, but indignation, but fear, but longing, but zeal, but vindication? In everything you have proved yourselves innocent to be (in *k) this matter.

For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

12 So if even I wrote to you, [it was] not for the sake of the [one] having done wrong (but *O) nor for the sake of the [one] having suffered wrong, but rather for the sake of being revealed the earnestness of you which [is] for us to you before God.

So although I wrote unto 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 made manifest unto you in the sight of God.

13 On account of this we have been comforted. Besides also the comfort (of us *N+KO) [the] more abundantly (now *k) rather we have rejoiced at the joy of Titus, because has been refreshed the spirit of him by all of you,

Therefore we have been comforted: and in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all.

14 For if anything to him about you I have boasted, not I was put to shame, but as all things in truth we have spoken to you, so also the boasting of us to Titus, truth became;

For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

15 And the affections of him more abundantly toward you are remembering the of all of you obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.

And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

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

I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
