7:2-16
2 Cor. 7
:2
7:2
1aMake room for us; we have
2bwronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken
cadvantage of no one.
2 Cor. 7
:3
7:3
I do not say
this to condemn
you, for I have said before that you are
1in our hearts for
our dying together and
our living together.
2 Cor. 7
:4
7:4
Great is my
aboldness toward you, great is my
bboasting on your behalf; I am filled with
ccomfort, I overflow with
1djoy in all our
eaffliction.
2 Cor. 7
:5
7:5
For even when we came into
aMacedonia, our
1flesh had no rest, but
we were bafflicted in everything; without were
cfightings, within were fears.
2 Cor. 7
:6
7:6
But He who
acomforts those who are
1downcast,
that is, God,
2bcomforted us by the
3coming of
cTitus;
2 Cor. 7
:7
7:7
And not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted because of you, declaring to us your
alonging, your lamentation, your
bzeal for me, so that I
crejoiced the more.
2 Cor. 7
:8
7:8
For though I caused you
asorrow by the
1letter, I do not regret
it. Even if I
2did regret
it (for I see that letter, even if for an hour,
3caused you sorrow),
2 Cor. 7
:9
7:9
Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to
1repentance; for you were made
2asorrowful according to God, that in nothing you might suffer loss from us.
2 Cor. 7
:10
7:10
For sorrow according to God works
arepentance unto
1salvation,
which is without regret; but the
bsorrow of the world works out death.
2 Cor. 7
:11
7:11
For behold this very thing, your being made sorrowful according to God, what
1aearnestness it has
2worked out in you,
3indeed what 4defense, indeed
what 5indignation, indeed
what 6fear, indeed
what 7blonging, indeed
what 8czeal, indeed
what 9dpunishment! In everything you have commended yourselves to be pure in
10the matter.
2 Cor. 7
:12
7:12
So then, though I
awrote to you,
it was not for the sake of
1him who did the wrong, nor for the sake of
2him who was wronged, but for the sake of
3manifesting to you before God your earnestness for us.
2 Cor. 7
:13
7:13
Because of this we have been
acomforted. And in addition to our comfort, we
brejoiced 1more abundantly over the joy of
2Titus, because his
3spirit has been
crefreshed by all of you.
2 Cor. 7
:14
7:14
For if in anything I
aboasted to him on your behalf, I have not been put to shame; on the contrary, as we spoke all things in truth to you, so also our boasting before Titus turned out to be the truth.
2 Cor. 7
:15
7:15
And his
1affections are abundantly toward you, he remembering the
aobedience of you all, how you received him with
bfear and trembling.
2 Cor. 7
:16
7:16
I arejoice that in everything I
1have boldness because of you.
