7:1

Ταυτας ουν εχοντες τας επαγγελιας αγαπητοι καθαρισωμεν εαυτους απο παντος μολυσμου σαρκος και πνευματος επιτελουντες αγιωσυνην εν φοβω Θεου

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

7:2

Χωρησατε ημας ουδενα ηδικησαμεν ουδενα εφθειραμεν ουδενα επλεονεκτησαμεν

Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man.

7:3

προς κατακρισιν ου λεγω προειρηκα γαρ οτι εν ταις καρδιαις ημων εστε εις το συναποθανειν και συζην

I say it not to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die together and live together.

7:4

πολλη μοι παρρησια προς υμας πολλη μοι καυχησις υπερ υμων πεπληρωμαι τη παρακλησει υπερπερισσευομαι τη χαρα επι παση τη θλιψει ημων

Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

7:5

Και γαρ ελθοντων ημων εις Μακεδονιαν ουδεμιαν εσχηκεν ανεσιν η σαρξ ημων αλλ εν παντι θλιβομενοι εξωθεν μαχαι εσωθεν φοβοι

For even when we were come into Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

7:6

αλλ ο παρακαλων τους ταπεινους παρεκαλεσεν ημας ο Θεος εν τη παρουσια Τιτου

Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, even God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

7:7

ου μονον δε εν τη παρουσια αυτου αλλα και εν τη παρακλησει η παρεκληθη εφ υμιν αναγγελλων ημιν την υμων επιποθησιν τον υμων οδυρμον τον υμων ζηλον υπερ εμου ωστε με μαλλον χαρηναι

and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced yet more.

7:8

Οτι ει και ελυπησα υμας εν τη επιστολη ου μεταμελομαι ει και μετεμελομην βλεπω γαρ οτι η επιστολη εκεινη ει και προς ωραν ελυπησεν υμας

For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret it (for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season),

7:9

νυν χαιρω ουχ οτι ελυπηθητε αλλ οτι ελυπηθητε εις μετανοιαν ελυπηθητε γαρ κατα Θεον ινα εν μηδενι ζημιωθητε εξ ημων

I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing.

7:10

η γαρ κατα Θεον λυπη μετανοιαν εις σωτηριαν αμεταμελητον εργαζεται η δε του κοσμου λυπη θανατον κατεργαζεται

For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

¹

7:11

Ιδου γαρ αυτο τουτο το κατα Θεον λυπηθηναι ποσην κατειργασατο υμιν σπουδην αλλα απολογιαν αλλα αγανακτησιν αλλα φοβον αλλα επιποθησιν αλλα ζηλον αλλα εκδικησιν εν παντι συνεστησατε εαυτους αγνους ειναι τω πραγματι

For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

7:12

αρα ει και εγραψα υμιν ουχ ενεκεν του αδικησαντος ουδε ενεκεν του αδικηθεντος αλλ ενεκεν του φανερωθηναι την σπουδην υμων την υπερ ημων προς υμας ενωπιον του Θεου

So although I wrote unto you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of God.

7:13

δια τουτο παρακεκλημεθα Επι δε τη παρακλησει ημων περισσοτερως μαλλον εχαρημεν επι τη χαρα Τιτου οτι αναπεπαυται το πνευμα αυτου απο παντων υμων

Therefore we have been comforted: and in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all.

7:14

οτι ει τι αυτω υπερ υμων κεκαυχημαι ου κατησχυνθην αλλ ως παντα εν αληθεια ελαλησαμεν υμιν ουτως και η καυχησις ημων η επι Τιτου αληθεια εγενηθη

For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

7:15

και τα σπλαγχνα αυτου περισσοτερως εις υμας εστιν αναμιμνησκομενου την παντων υμων υπακοην ως μετα φοβου και τρομου εδεξασθε αυτον

And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

7:16

χαιρω οτι εν παντι θαρρω εν υμιν

I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
