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].
