2 Corinthians 7:5-16

5For evenG2532 when we cameG2064 into 1MacedoniaG3109 our fleshG4561 hadG2192 noG3762 restG425, but we were 2afflictedG2346 on everyG3956 side: 3conflictsG3163 withoutG1855, fearsG5401 withinG2081. 6But 4GodG2316, who comfortsG3870 the 5depressedG5011, 6comfortedG3870 us by the comingG3952 of 7TitusG5103; 7and not onlyG3440 by his comingG3952, but alsoG2532 by the comfortG3874 with whichG3739 he was comfortedG3870 in you, as he reportedG312 to us your longingG1972, your mourningG3602, your zealG2205 for me; soG5620 that I rejoicedG5463 even moreG3123. 8For thoughG1487 G2532 I 8causedG3076 you sorrowG3076 by my letterG1992, I do not regretG3338 it; thoughG1487 G2532 I did regretG3338 it--for I seeG991 that that letterG1992 causedG3076 you sorrowG3076, thoughG1487 G2532 onlyG2532 for a whileG5610-- 9I nowG3568 rejoiceG5463, not that you were madeG3076 sorrowfulG3076, but that you were madeG3076 sorrowfulG3076 to the point of repentanceG3341; for you were madeG3076 sorrowfulG3076 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316, soG2443 that you might not sufferG2210 lossG2210 in anythingG3367 9throughG1537 us. 10For the sorrowG3077 that is accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316 producesG2038 a 10repentanceG3341 11withoutG278 regretG278, leading to salvationG4991, but the sorrowG3077 of the worldG2889 producesG2716 deathG2288. 11For beholdG2400 whatG4214 earnestnessG4710 thisG3778 veryG846 thingG846, thisG3588 12godlyG2596 G2316 sorrowG3076, has producedG2716 in you: whatG235 vindicationG627 of yourselves, whatG235 indignationG24, whatG235 fearG5401, whatG235 13longingG1972, whatG235 zealG2205, whatG235 14avengingG1557 of wrongG1557! In everythingG3956 you 15demonstratedG4921 yourselvesG1438 to be innocentG53 in the matterG4229. 12SoG686 althoughG1487 G2532 16I wroteG1125 to you, it was not for the sakeG1752 of 17the offenderG91 norG3761 for the sakeG1752 of the one offendedG91, but that your earnestnessG4710 on our behalfG5228 might be madeG5319 knownG5319 to you in the sightG1799 of GodG2316. 13For thisG3778 reasonG1223 we have been 18comfortedG3870.

And besidesG1909 our comfortG3874, we rejoicedG5463 evenG4057 muchG3123 moreG4057 for the joyG5479 of 19TitusG5103, becauseG3754 his 20spiritG4151 has been refreshedG373 by you allG3956. 14For ifG1487 in anythingG5100 I have 21boastedG2744 to him aboutG5228 you, I was not putG2617 to shameG2617; but as we spokeG2980 allG3956 thingsG3956 to you in truthG225, soG3779 alsoG2532 our boastingG2746 beforeG1909 22TitusG5103 provedG1096 to be the truthG225. 15His 23affectionG4698 aboundsG4053 allG4053 the moreG4053 towardG1519 you, as he remembersG363 the 24obedienceG5218 of you allG3956, howG5613 you receivedG1209 him with 25fearG5401 and tremblingG5156. 16I rejoiceG5463 that in everythingG3956 26I haveG2292 confidenceG2292 in you.
