2 Corinthians 7:8-13

EvenG2532 ifG1487 I caused you sorrowG3076G4771 byG1722 my letterG1992, I do not regretG3756G3338 it. AlthoughG2532G1487 I did regretG3338 it—for I seeG991G1063 thatG3754 my letterG1992 caused youG4771 sorrowG3076, but onlyG2532G1487 forG4314 a short timeG5610— 9yet nowG3568 I rejoiceG5463, notG3756 becauseG3754 you were made sorrowfulG3076, butG235 becauseG3754 your sorrowG3076 led you toG1519 repentanceG3341. ForG1063 you felt the sorrowG3076 that God had intendedG2596G2316, and soG2443 were not harmedG2210 inG1722 any way byG1537 usG1473. 10GodlyG2596G2316 sorrowG3077 bringsG2038 repentanceG3341 that leads toG1519 salvationG4991 without regretG278, butG1161 worldlyG2889 sorrowG3077 bringsG2716 deathG2288.

ConsiderG2400 what thisG846G3778G3588 godlyG2596G2316 sorrowG3076 has producedG2716 in youG4771: whatG4214 earnestnessG4710, what eagerness to clear yourselvesG627, what indignationG24, what alarmG5401, what longingG1972, what zealG2205, what vindicationG1557! InG1722 every wayG3956 you have provedG4921 yourselvesG1438 to beG1510 innocentG53 in thisG3588 matterG4229. 12SoG686 evenG2532 thoughG1487 I wroteG1125 to youG4771, it was notG3756 on account ofG1752 theG3588 one who did wrongG91 or theG3588 one who was harmedG91, but ratherG235 thatG1752 yourG4771 earnestnessG4710 on our behalfG5228G1473 would be made clearG5319 toG4314 youG4771 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316. 13On account ofG1223 thisG3778, we are encouragedG3870.

In addition toG1909 ourG1473 ownG3588 encouragementG3874, we were even more delightedG5463G4057G3123 byG1909 theG3588 joyG5479 of TitusG5103. ForG3754 hisG846 spiritG4151 has been refreshedG373 byG575 allG3956 of youG4771.
