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.
