2 Corinthians 7
- 1Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
- 2Receive us. We have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have cheated no man.
- 3I do not speak this to condemn you. For I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die and live with you.
- 4Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you. I am filled with comfort, I am very joyful in all our trouble.
- 5For, when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were fightings, inside were fears.
- 6But God, who comforts those who are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus.
- 7And not by his coming only, but by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your eager mind toward me, so that I rejoiced the more.
- 8For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that the same letter has made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
- 9Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you sorrowed to repentance. For you were made sorry after a godly manner, that you might receive damage by us in nothing.
- 10For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation not to be regretted. But the sorrow of the world works death.
- 11For this very same thing, that you sorrowed after a godly sort, what earnest care it worked in you, yes, what clearing of yourselves, yes, what anger, yes, what fear, yes, what vehement desire, yes, what zeal, yes, what revenge! In all things you have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
- 12Therefore, though I wrote to you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, or for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.
- 13Therefore we were comforted in your comfort. Yes, and greatly the more we joyed for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
- 14For if I have boasted anything to him of you, I am not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
- 15And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, while he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.
- 16I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
