2 Corinthians 7

7^aHaving therefore these promises, dearly beloved, ^blet us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of ^cthe flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

^2dReceive us; ^ewe have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have ^fdefrauded no man. ³I speak not this to condemn you: for ^gI have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. ⁴Great is my ^hboldness of speech toward you, great is ⁱmy glorying of you: ^jI am filled with comfort, ^kI am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. ⁵For, ^lwhen we were come into Macedonia, ^lour flesh had no rest, but we were ^mtroubled on every side; ⁿwithout were fightings, within were fears. ⁶Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us ^oby the coming of ^lTitus; ⁷And not by his coming only, but ^kby the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your ^pearnest desire, ^qyour mourning, your ^rfervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. ⁸For ^sthough I made you sorry with a letter, I do not ^trepent, ^ttthough I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but ^ufor a season. ⁹Now I rejoice, ^vnot that ye were made sorry, but ^vthat ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry ^||after a godly manner, that ye might ^wreceive damage by us in nothing. ¹⁰For ^qxgodly sorrow worketh ^yrepentance to salvation ^znot to be repented of: but ^athe sorrow of the world worketh death. ¹¹For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed ^bafter a godly sort, what ^ccarefulness it wrought in you, yea, what ^dclearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what ^efear, yea, what ^fvehement desire, yea, what ^fgzeal, yea, what ^grevenge! In all things ye have ^happroved yourselves to be clear ⁱin this matter. ¹²Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor ^kfor his cause that suffered wrong, ^lbut that our ^ccare for you in the sight of God might appear unto you. ¹³Therefore ^mwe were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of ^mTitus, because his spirit ⁿwas refreshed by you all. ¹⁴For ^oif I have boasted any thing to him of you, ^oI am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you ^pin truth, even so our boasting, which I made before ^mTitus, is found a truth. ¹⁵And his ^†inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth ^qthe obedience of you all, how with ^efear and trembling ye received him. ¹⁶I rejoice therefore that ^rI have confidence in you in all things.
