2 Corinthians 7 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Paul Reveals His Heart

2Co 7:1Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2Co 7:2

2Co 7:2Make room for us in your hearts; we wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we took advantage of no one.

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

2Co 7:5

2Co 7:5For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side: conflicts without, fears within.

2Co 7:6

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

2Co 7:7

2Co 7:7and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in 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 avenging 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 on our behalf might be made known to you in the sight of God.

2Co 7:13

2Co 7:13For this reason we have been comforted. And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

2Co 7:14

2Co 7:14For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, 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.
