2 Corinthians 7 (WEBP)

[1] Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
[2] Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
[3] I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
[4] Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
[5] For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
[6] Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
[7] and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
[8] For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
[9] I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
[10] For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
[11] For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
[12] So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
[13] Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
[14] For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
[15] His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
[16] I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.

2 Corinthians 7 (KJVS)

[1] Having () therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse () ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting () holiness in the fear of God.
[2] Receive () us; we have wronged () no man, we have corrupted () no man, we have defrauded () no man.
[3] I speak () not this to condemn you: for I have said before, () that ye are () in our hearts to die () and live with () you.
[4] Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled () with comfort, I am exceeding () joyful in all our tribulation.
[5] For, when we were come () into Macedonia, our flesh had () no rest, but we were troubled () on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
[6] Nevertheless God, that comforteth () those that are cast down, comforted () us by the coming of Titus;
[7] and not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted () in you, when he told () us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced () the more.
[8] For though I made you sorry () with a letter, I do not repent, () though I did repent: () for I perceive () that the same epistle hath made you sorry, () though it were but for a season.
[9] Now I rejoice, () not that ye were made sorry, () but that ye sorrowed () to repentance: for ye were made sorry () after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage () by us in nothing.
[10] For godly sorrow worketh () repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh () death.
[11] For behold () this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed () after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought () in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved () yourselves to be () clear in this matter.
[12] Wherefore, though I wrote () unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, () nor for his cause that suffered wrong, () but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear () unto you.
[13] Therefore we were comforted () in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we () for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed () by you all.
[14] For if I have boasted () any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; () but as we spake () all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found () a truth.
[15] And his inward affection is () more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth () the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received () him.
[16] I rejoice () therefore that I have confidence () in you in all things.
