These therefore having promises, beloved, we may cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in [the] fear of God.

do make room for us; no one we have wronged, no one we have corrupted, no one we have exploited.

For condemnation not I speak; I have before said for that in the hearts of us you are, for [us] to die together, and to live together.

Great [is] my boldness toward you; great my boasting on behalf of you; I have been filled with encouragement; I overabound with joy upon all the affliction of us.

And for when were coming we into Macedonia, none did have rest the flesh of us; but in every [way] we are being pressed: on the outside conflicts, within fears.

But the [One] comforting the downcast comforted us, God, by the coming of Titus,

not only now by the coming of him, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted as to you; relating to us your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so as for me [the] more to rejoice.

For if also I have grieved you in the letter, not I do regret [it]. Though even I was regreting [it]; I see indeed that the letter that, if even for an hour, grieved you.

Now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved unto repentance; you were grieved for according to God, so that in nothing you may suffer loss through us.

The for, according to God grief, repentance to salvation without regret produces; and the of the world grief, death produces.

Behold for, this very same thing, according to God to have been grieved, how much has produced in you earnestness, but instead reasoned defense, but indignation, but fear, but longing, but zeal, but vindication! In everything, you have proved yourselves innocent to be in this matter.

So if even I wrote to you, [it was] not for the sake of the [one] having done wrong, nor for the sake of the [one] having suffered wrong, but rather for the sake of being revealed the earnestness of you, which [is] for us to you before God.

On account of this, we have been comforted. Besides now the comfort of us, [the] more abundantly rather we have rejoiced at the joy of Titus, because has been refreshed the spirit of him by all of you.

For if anything to him about you I have boasted, not I was put to shame; but as all things in truth we have spoken to you, so also the boasting of us to Titus, truth became.

And the affections of him more abundantly toward you are, remembering the of all of you obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.

I rejoice that in everything I am confident in you.
