2 Corinthians 7 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Paul Reveals His Heart

Therefore^G3767, having^G2192 these^G3778 promises^G1860, beloved^G27, let’s cleanse^G2511 ourselves^G1438 from all^G3956 defilement^G3436 of flesh^G4561 and spirit^G4151, perfecting^G2005 holiness^G42 in the fear^G5401 of God^G2316.

2Co 7:2

Make^G5562 room^G5562 for us in your hearts; we have wronged^G91 no^G3762 one^G3762, we corrupted^G5351 no^G3762 one^G3762, we have taken^G4122 advantage^G4122 of no^G3762 one^G3762.

2Co 7:3

2Co 7:3I do not speak to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

2Co 7:4

2Co 7:4My confidence [fn]in you is great; my boasting in your behalf is great. I am filled with comfort; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.

2Co 7:5

For even^G2532 when we came^G2064 into Macedonia^G3109 our flesh^G4561 had^G2192 no^G3762 rest^G425, but we were afflicted^G2346 on every^G3956 side: conflicts^G3163 on the outside^G1855, fears^G5401 inside^G2081.

2Co 7:6

2Co 7:6But God, who comforts the [fn]discouraged, comforted us by the arrival of Titus;

2Co 7:7

2Co 7:7and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted among you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more.

2Co 7:8

2Co 7:8For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it—for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while—

2Co 7:9

2Co 7:9I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything [fn]through us.

2Co 7:10

2Co 7:10For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance [fn]without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.

2Co 7:11

2Co 7:11For behold what earnestness this very thing, this [fn]godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.

2Co 7:12

2Co 7:12So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the offender nor for the sake of the one offended, but that your earnestness in our behalf might be made known to you in the sight of God.

2Co 7:13

2Co 7:13Because of this, we have been comforted.

And besides^G1909 our comfort^G3874, we rejoiced^G5463 even^G4056 much^G3123 more^G4056 for the joy^G5479 of Titus^G5103, because^G3754 his spirit^G4151 has been refreshed^G373 by you all^G3956.

2Co 7:14

2Co 7:14For if I have boasted to him about you regarding anything, I was not put to shame. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before Titus proved to be the truth.

2Co 7:15

2Co 7:15His [fn]affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.

2Co 7:16

2Co 7:16I rejoice that in everything I have confidence in you.
