| [1]Because there are to us therefore these promises beloved let us purify ourselves from all impurity of the flesh and of the spirit and let us cultivate holiness in the awe of Alaha |
[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]Bear with us brethren to anyone not we have done evil anyone not we have corrupted anyone not we have cheated |
[2]Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. |
| [3]Not was to condemn you said I I did before for I said that in our heart you are to die as one and to live |
[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]Frankness great is mine to you and much is to me in you pride and full I am with comfort and abundance abounds in me of joy in all my afflictions |
[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]Also from when we came for to Maqedonia not even one relief there was for our body but in every thing we were tormented from outside combat and from within fear |
[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 Alaha is He Who comforts the humble comforted us with the coming of Titus |
[6]Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; |
| [7]And not only with his coming but also with his relief that with which he was relieved by you he proclaimed to us for concerning your love that is for us and concerning your grief and your zeal that was for our sake and when I heard joy great was mine |
[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 although I grieved you by an epistle not regret is for me myself even though sorry I was saw I for that the same epistle though of the hour grieved you |
[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]But joy great it gave to me not because you grieved for yourselves but because your grief to homecoming brought you you grieved for yourselves for by what is from Alaha so that in anything not you would be harmed 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]Grief for that is because of Alaha regret of the soul works which not reverses and returns to life grief but of the world death it works |
[10]For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. |
| [11]Behold for has happened this that you were distressed because of Alaha how much more? I have effected in you diligence ? and apology and anger and fear and love and zeal and vengeance and in all things you showed yourselves that pure you are in it in the 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]Will be but this that I wrote to you that not it was for the wrong also not for him who did wrong in it but so that might be known in the presence of Alaha your diligence that is for us |
[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]Because of this we are comforted and with our comfort all the more we rejoice in the joy of Titus whose was refreshed spirit with all of you |
[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]Because in what ever I have boasted to him over your persons not I am ashamed but as of every thing the truth we have spoken with you in this way also our boasting unto Titus in the truth was found |
[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]Also his affections all the more have increased for you as he remembers the obedience of you all that in fear and trembling you 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]Rejoice I that in every thing trust I in you |
[16]I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things. |
