2 Corinthians 7:5-12

5For evenG2532 when we were comeG2064 into MacedoniaG3109 our fleshG4561 had no relief, butwe wereafflicted on every side; without were fightings, within were fearsG5401. 6Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, even GodG2316, comfortedG3870 us by the coming of TitusG5103; 7and not by his coming onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 by the comfortG3874 wherewith he was comfortedG3870 in you, while he told us your longing, your mourningG3602, your zealG2205 for me; so that I rejoicedG5463 yet moreG3123. 8For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret it (for I seeG991 that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season), 9I nowG3568 rejoiceG5463, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentanceG3341; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might sufferG2210 lossG2210 by us in nothingG3367. 10For godly sorrowG3077 worketh repentanceG3341 unto salvationG4991, a repentanceG3341 which bringeth no regret: but the sorrowG3077 of the worldG2889 worketh deathG2288. 11For beholdG2400, this selfsame thingG3778, that ye wereG1510 made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fearG5401, yea what longing, yea what zealG2205, yea what avenging! In everythingG3956 ye approved yourselves to beG1510 pureG53 in the matterG4229. 12So although I wroteG1125 unto you, I wroteG1125 not for his cause that did the wrongG91, nor for his cause that suffered the wrongG91, but that your earnest care for us might be madeG5319 manifestG5319 unto you in the sight of GodG2316.
