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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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,

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.

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;

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

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.

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

I rejoice that in everything I am confident in you.
