1 Having2192 therefore3767 these5025 promises1860, dearly beloved27, let us cleanse2511 ourselves1438 from575 all3956 filthiness3436 of the flesh4561 and2532 spirit4151, perfecting2005 holiness42 in1722 the fear5401 of God2316. 2 Receive5562 us2248; we have wronged91 no man3762, we have corrupted5351 no man3762, we have defrauded4122 no man3762. 3 I speak3004 not3756 this to4314 condemn2633 you: for1063 I have said before4280, that3754 ye are2075 in1722 our2257 hearts2588 to1519 die4880 and2532 live with4800 you. 4 Great4183 is my3427 boldness of speech3954 toward4314 you5209, great4183 is my3427 glorying2746 of5228 you5216: I am filled4137 with comfort3874, I am exceeding5248 joyful5479 in1909 all3956 our2257 tribulation2347.

5 For1063 2532, when we2257 were come2064 into1519 Macedonia3109, our2257 flesh4561 had2192 no3762 rest425, but235 we were troubled2346 on1722 every side3956; without1855 were fightings3163, within2081 were fears5401. 6 Nevertheless235 God2316, that comforteth3870 those that are cast down5011, comforted3870 us2248 by1722 the coming3952 of Titus5103; 7 And1161 not3756 by1722 his846 coming3952 only3440, but235 2532 by1722 the consolation3874 wherewith3739 he was comforted3870 in1909 you5213, when he told312 us2254 your5216 earnest desire1972, your5216 mourning3602, your5216 fervent mind2205 toward5228 me1700; so5620 that I3165 rejoiced5463 the more3123. 8 For3754 though1499 I made3076 you5209 sorry3076 with1722 a letter1992, I do3338 not3756 repent3338, though1499 I did repent3338: for1063 I perceive991 that3754 the same1565 epistle1992 hath made3076 you5209 sorry3076, though it were but1499 for4314 a season5610. 9 Now3568 I rejoice5463, not3756 that3754 ye were made sorry3076, but235 that3754 ye sorrowed3076 to1519 repentance3341: for1063 ye were made sorry3076 after2596 a godly manner2316, that2443 ye might receive damage2210 by1537 us2257 in1722 nothing3367.¹ 10 For1063 godly2316 2596 sorrow3077 worketh2716 repentance3341 to1519 salvation4991 not to be repented of278: but1161 the sorrow3077 of the world2889 worketh2716 death2288. 11 For1063 behold2400 this5124 selfsame thing846, that5209 ye sorrowed3076 after2596 a godly sort2316, what4214 carefulness4710 it wrought2716 in you5213, yea235, what clearing of yourselves627, yea235, what indignation24, yea235, what fear5401, yea235, what vehement desire1972, yea235, what zeal2205, yea235, what revenge1557! In1722 all3956 things ye have approved4921 yourselves1438 to be1511 clear53 in1722 this matter4229.

12 Wherefore686, though1499 I wrote1125 unto you5213, I did it not3756 for his cause1752 that had done the wrong91, nor3761 for his cause1752 that suffered wrong91, but235 that1752 our2257 care4710 for5228 you5216 in the sight1799 of God2316 might appear5319 unto4314 you5209. 13 Therefore1223 5124 we were comforted3870 in1909 your5216 comfort3874: yea, and1161 exceedingly4056 the more3123 joyed we5463 for1909 the joy5479 of Titus5103, because3754 his846 spirit4151 was refreshed373 by575 you5216 all3956. 14 For3754 if I have boasted2744 any thing1536 to him846 of5228 you5216, I am2617 not3756 ashamed2617; but235 as5613 we spake2980 all things3956 to you5213 in1722 truth225, even2532 so3779 our2257 boasting2746, which3588 I made before1909 Titus5103, is found1096 a truth225. 15 And2532 his846 inward affection4698 is2076 more abundant4056 toward1519 you5209, whilst he remembereth363 the obedience5218 of you5216 all3956, how5613 with3326 fear5401 and2532 trembling5156 ye received1209 him846.² 16 I rejoice5463 therefore that3754 I have confidence2292 in1722 you5213 in1722 all3956 things.
