2 Corinthians 7:9-16

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 thatG2443 you might not sufferG2210 lossG2210 in anythingG3367 1throughG1537 us. 10For the sorrowG3077 that is accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316 producesG2038 a 2repentanceG3341 3withoutG278 regretG278, leading to salvationG4991, but the sorrowG3077 of the worldG2889 producesG2716 deathG2288. 11For beholdG2400 whatG4214 earnestnessG4710 thisG3778 veryG846 thingG846, thisG3588 4godlyG2596G2316 sorrowG3076, has producedG2716 in you: whatG235 vindicationG627 of yourselves, whatG235 indignationG24, whatG235 fearG5401, whatG235 5longingG1972, whatG235 zealG2205, whatG235 6punishmentG1557 ofG1557 wrongG1557! In everythingG3956 you 7demonstratedG4921 yourselvesG1438 to be innocentG53 in the matterG4229. 12SoG686 althoughG1487G2532 8I wroteG1125 to you, it was not for the sakeG1752 of 9the offenderG91 norG3761 for the sakeG1752 of the one offendedG91, but that your earnestnessG4710 inG5228 our behalfG5228 might be madeG5319 knownG5319 to you inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316. 13BecauseG1223 of thisG3778, we have been 10comfortedG3870.

And besidesG1909 our comfortG3874, we rejoicedG5463 evenG4056 muchG3123 moreG4056 for the joyG5479 of 11TitusG5103, becauseG3754 his 12spiritG4151 has been refreshedG373 by you allG3956. 14For if I have 13boastedG2744 to him aboutG5228 you regarding anythingG5100, I was not putG2617 toG2617 shameG2617. But as we spokeG2980 allG3956 thingsG3956 to you in truthG225, soG3779 alsoG2532 our boastingG2746 beforeG1909 14TitusG5103 provedG1096 to be the truthG225. 15His 15affectionG4698 aboundsG1510G4056 allG4056 theG4056 moreG4056 towardG1519 you, as he remembersG363 the 16obedienceG5218 of you allG3956, howG5613 you receivedG1209 him with 17fearG5401 and tremblingG5156. 16I rejoiceG5463 that in everythingG3956 18I haveG2292 confidenceG2292 in you.
