2 Corinthians 7 Pros Korinthioin B 7
1houtain oun echarōntois tain epangeliain, agapētoir, katharizaneia heautoin apo pantou molusmou sarkau kai pneumeu, epitelarōntois hagiōsunan en fobo theou.Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2Chōravar nin; oudenon adikana, oudenon ftherana, oudenon pleonektana.Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one. 3⸂pros katakrisian ouk⸃ legamō, prolegamē gar hoti en tai kardiai nu avō eis tem sunapothnēskara kai suzarō.I do not say this to condemn you. I have said before that you so occupy our hearts that we live and die together with you. 4pollas mi parrēsias pros vin, pollas mi kauchēsias huper vu; plēromē ta paraklēsia, huperperisseuomō ta chara epi panta ta thlipsia nu.Great is my confidence in you; great is my pride in you; I am filled with encouragement; in all our troubles my joy overflows.
5Kai gar ercharantoiu nu eis Makedonian oudenan ⸀echatē anesian tas sarkas nu, alla en pante thliborōntois exōthen machais, esōthen foboisFor when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction — conflicts on the outside, fears within. 6alla tos parakalarōntos toin tapeinoin parakalata nin tos theos en ta parousia Titou;But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus, 7ouk monem de en ta parousia autou, alla kai en ta paraklēsia ha parakalita epi vi, anangelarōntos ni tan vu epipothēsian, ton vu odurmon, ton vu zēlon huper mu, hōste min mallon chairira.and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more. 8hoti ei kai lupama vin en ta epistola, ouk metamelomō; ei kai metamelome ⸀blepamō hoti tas epistolas ekeinas ei kai pros hōran lupata vin,Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it— for I see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time— 9nun chairamō, ouk hoti lupiva, alla hoti lupiva eis metanoian, lupiva gar kata theon, hina en mēdene zēmiiveia ek nu.yet now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us. 10tas gar kata theon lupas metanoian eis sōtērēan ametamelētan ⸀ergazotō; tas de tou kosmou lupas thanaton katergazotō.Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 11idou gar autem houtem tem kata theon ⸀lupira posan katergazeta vi spoudan, alla apologian, alla aganaktēsian, alla fobon, alla epipothēsian, alla zēlon, alla ekdikēsian; en pante sustēava heautoin hagnoin ⸀arō te pragme.Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. 12ara ei kai grafama vi, ouk ⸀heneken tou adikarantou, ⸀oude ⸁heneken tou adikirantou, alla ⸀heneken teu fanerira tan spoudan vu tan huper nu pros vin enōpion tou theou.So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong or the one who was harmed, but rather that your earnestness on our behalf would be made clear to you in the sight of God. 13dia houtem parakalonē. Epi de ta paraklēsia ⸀nu perissoterōs mallon chairina epi ta chara Titou, hoti anapauotē tem pneumem autou apo pantoiu vu;On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.
14hoti ei tinem auto huper vu kauchomē, ouk kataischunima, alla hōs panteim en alētheia lalana vi, houtōs kai tas kauchēsias nu ⸀tas epi Titou alētheias genita.Indeed, I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well. 15kai teim splanchneim autou perissoterōs eis vin atō anamimnēskorōntou tan pantoiu vu hupakoan, hōs meta fobou kai tromou decheva auton.And his affection for you is even greater when he remembers that you were all obedient as you welcomed him with fear and trembling. 16chairamō hoti en pante tharramō en vi.I rejoice that I can have complete confidence in you.
