¹ G2192 Having [G5723]   G3767 therefore G5025 these G1860 promises G27 , dearly beloved G2511 , let us cleanse [G5661]   G1438 ourselves G575 from G3956 all G3436 filthiness G4561 of the flesh G2532 and G4151 spirit G2005 , perfecting [G5723]   G42 holiness G1722 in G5401 the fear G2316 of God.

² G5562 Receive [G5657]   G2248 us G91 ; we have wronged [G5656]   G3762 no man G5351 , we have corrupted [G5656]   G3762 no man G4122 , we have defrauded [G5656]   G3762 no man.

³ G3004 I speak [G5719]   G3756 not G4314 this to G2633 condemn G1063 you : for G4280 I have said before [G5758]   G3754 , that G2075 ye are [G5748]   G1722 in G2257 our G2588 hearts G1519 to G4880 die [G5629]   G2532 and G4800 live with [G5721]   you .

⁴ G4183 Great G3427 is my G3954 boldness of speech G4314 toward G5209 you G4183 , great G3427 is my G2746 glorying G5228 of G5216 you G4137 : I am filled [G5769]   G3874 with comfort G5248 , I am exceeding [G5731]   G5479 joyful G1909 in G3956 all G2257 our G2347 tribulation.

⁵ G1063 For G2532   G2257 , when we G2064 were come [G5631]   G1519 into G3109 Macedonia G2257 , our G4561 flesh G2192 had [G5758]   G3762 no G425 rest G235 , but G2346 we were troubled [G5746]   G1722 on G3956 every side G1855 ; without G3163 were fightings G2081 , within G5401 were fears.

⁶ G235 Nevertheless G2316 God G3870 , that comforteth [G5723]   G5011 those that are cast down G3870 , comforted [G5656]   G2248 us G1722 by G3952 the coming G5103 of Titus;

⁷ G1161 And G3756 not G1722 by G846 his G3952 coming G3440 only G235 , but G2532   G1722 by G3874 the consolation G3739 wherewith G3870 he was comforted [G5681]   G1909 in G5213 you G312 , when he told [G5723]   G2254 us G5216 your G1972 earnest desire G5216 , your G3602 mourning G5216 , your G2205 fervent mind G5228 toward G1700 me G5620 ; so G3165 that I G5463 rejoiced [G5646]   G3123 the more.

⁸ G3754 For G1499 though G3076 I made G5209 you G3076 sorry [G5656]   G1722 with G1992 a letter G3338 , I do G3756 not G3338 repent [G5736]   G1499 , though G3338 I did repent [G5711]   G1063 : for G991 I perceive [G5719]   G3754 that G1565 the same G1992 epistle G3076 hath made G5209 you G3076 sorry [G5656]   G1499 , though it were but G4314 for G5610 a season.

⁹ G3568 Now G5463 I rejoice [G5719]   G3756 , not G3754 that G3076 ye were made sorry [G5681]   G235 , but G3754 that G3076 ye sorrowed [G5681]   G1519 to G3341 repentance G1063 : for G3076 ye were made sorry [G5681]   G2596 after G2316 a godly manner G2443 , that G2210 ye might receive damage [G5686]   G1537 by G2257 us G1722 in G3367 nothing.

¹⁰ G1063 For G2316 godly G2596   G3077 sorrow G2716 worketh [G5736]   G3341 repentance G1519 to G4991 salvation G278 not to be repented of G1161 : but G3077 the sorrow G2889 of the world G2716 worketh [G5736]   G2288 death.

¹¹ G1063 For G2400 behold [G5628]   G5124 this G846 selfsame thing G5209 , that G3076 ye sorrowed [G5683]   G2596 after G2316 a godly sort G4214 , what G4710 carefulness G2716 it wrought [G5662]   G5213 in you G235 , yea G627 , what clearing of yourselves G235 , yea G24 , what indignation G235 , yea G5401 , what fear G235 , yea G1972 , what vehement desire G235 , yea G2205 , what zeal G235 , yea G1557 , what revenge G1722 ! In G3956 all G4921 things ye have approved [G5656]   G1438 yourselves G1511 to be [G5750]   G53 clear G1722 in G4229 this matter.

¹² G686 Wherefore G1499 , though G1125 I wrote [G5656]   G5213 unto you G3756 , I did it not G1752 for his cause G91 that had done the wrong [G5660]   G3761 , nor G1752 for his cause G91 that suffered wrong [G5685]   G235 , but G1752 that G2257 our G4710 care G5228 for G5216 you G1799 in the sight G2316 of God G5319 might appear [G5683]   G4314 unto G5209 you.

¹³ G1223 Therefore G5124   G3870 we were comforted [G5769]   G1909 in G5216 your G3874 comfort G1161 : yea, and G4056 exceedingly G3123 the more G5463 joyed we [G5644]   G1909 for G5479 the joy G5103 of Titus G3754 , because G846 his G4151 spirit G373 was refreshed [G5769]   G575 by G5216 you G3956 all.

¹⁴ G3754 For G2744 if I have boasted [G5766]   G1536 any thing G846 to him G5228 of G5216 you G2617 , I am G3756 not G2617 ashamed [G5681]   G235 ; but G5613 as G2980 we spake [G5656]   G3956 all things G5213 to you G1722 in G225 truth G2532 , even G3779 so G2257 our G2746 boasting G3588 , which G1909 I made before G5103 Titus G1096 , is found [G5675]   G225 a truth.

¹⁵ G2532 And G846 his G4698 inward affection G2076 is [G5748]   G4056 more abundant G1519 toward G5209 you G363 , whilst he remembereth [G5734]   G5218 the obedience G5216 of you G3956 all G5613 , how G3326 with G5401 fear G2532 and G5156 trembling G1209 ye received [G5662]   G846 him.

¹⁶ G5463 I rejoice [G5719]   G3754 therefore that G2292 I have confidence [G5719]   G1722 in G5213 you G1722 in G3956 all things .
