1 Having therefore, my beloved, these promises,
let us purify ourselves from all defilement of flesh
and spirit, note perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Receive us—we have injured note no man, we have
corrupted no one, we have over-reached no one.
3 I speak
not this to condemn you: for I said before that ye are so
much in our hearts note that we could live and die with you.
4 I use much freedom of speech to you, and I note boast much
of you: I am filled with comfort, and superabound in
joy above all our affliction.
5 For when we came into
Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted
on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
6 But God, who comforteth those that are brought low,
comforted us by the coming of Titus:
7 and not only
by his coming, but note especially by the consolation wherewith
he was comforted on your account, acquainting us
with your earnest desire towards us, your grief, and your
zeal for me; so that I rejoiced note greatly.
8 For though
I grieved you by my letter, I do not repent, though I
did repent; for I perceive that that epistle grieved you,
though it was but for a little while.
9 However, now I
rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed
to repentance; for ye were grieved note after a godly
manner, so that ye received note no damage from us.
10 For
note godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to
be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh
death.
11 For behold this very thing, that ye sorrowed
after a godly manner, what diligence it wrought in you!
yea, what apology, note what indignation, note what fear, note
what earnest desire, note what zeal, note what revenge! by
-- --
all which ye have note shewn yourselves to be note clear in the
affair.
12 Wherefore if I wrote in such a manner to you,
it was not merely on his account who had done the
wrong, nor for his sake who had been injured; but
that our care for you in the sight of God might be manifested
among you.
13 We were therefore comforted by
your consolation; and rejoiced the more note at the joy of
Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all;
14 and
because if I boasted of any thing to him concerning you,
I was not ashamed; but as we have spoken all things to
you in truth, so likewise our boasting of you to Titus
was truth.
15 And his bowels are note exceedingly moved
towards you, when he calls to mind the obedience of
you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
16 I rejoice therefore that in every thing I have confidence
in you.
