[1]Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. |
| [2]Receive us: we have done wrong to no man: we have consumed no man: we have defrauded no man. |
[2]Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. |
| [3]I speak it not to your condemnation: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts, to die and live together. |
[3]I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. |
| [4]I use great boldness of speech toward you: I rejoice greatly in you: I am filled with comfort, and am exceeding joyous in all our tribulation. |
[4]Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. |
| [5]For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side, fightings without, and terrors within. |
[5]For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. |
| [6]But God, that comforteth the abject, comforted us at the coming of Titus: |
[6]Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; |
| [7]And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted of you, when he told us your great desire, your mourning, your fervent mind to meward, so that I rejoiced much more. |
[7]And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. |
| [8]For though I made you sorry with a letter, I repent not, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though it were but for a season. |
[8]For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. |
| [9]I now rejoice, not that ye were sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye sorrowed godly, so that in nothing ye were hurt by us. |
[9]Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. |
| [10]For godly sorrow causeth repentance unto salvation, not to be repented of: but the worldly sorrow causeth death. |
[10]For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. |
| [11]For behold, this thing that ye have been godly sorry, what great care it hath wrought in you: yea, what clearing of yourselves: yea, what indignation: yea, what fear: yea, how great desire: yea, what a zeal: yea, what punishment: in all things ye have showed yourselves, that ye are pure in this matter. |
[11]For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. |
| [12]Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did not it for his cause that had done the wrong, neither for his cause that had the injury, but that our care toward you in the sight of God might appear unto you. |
[12]Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you. |
| [13]Therefore we were comforted, because ye were comforted: but rather we rejoiced much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. |
[13]Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. |
| [14]For if that I have boasted anything to him of you, I have not been ashamed: but as I have spoken unto you all things in truth, even so our boasting unto Titus was true. |
[14]For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth. |
| [15]And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, when he remembereth the obedience of you all, and how with fear and trembling ye received him. |
[15]And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. |
| [16]I rejoice therefore that I may put my confidence in you in all things. |
[16]I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things. |
