7:1 Since
we
have
these
promises,
beloved,
let
us
cleanse
ourselves
from
every
defilement
of
body
and
spirit,
bringing
holiness
to
completion
in
the
fear
of
God.
7:2 Make
room
in
your
hearts
for
us.
We
have
wronged
no
one,
we
have
corrupted
no
one,
we
have
taken
advantage
of
no
one.
7:3 I
do
not
say
this
to
condemn
you,
for
I
said
before
that
you
are
in
our
hearts,
to
die
together
and
to
live
together.
7:4 I
am
acting
with
great
boldness
toward
you;
I
have
great
pride
in
you;
I
am
filled
with
comfort.
In
all
our
affliction,
I
am
overflowing
with
joy.
7:5 For
even
when
we
came
into
Macedonia,
our
bodies
had
no
rest,
but
we
were
afflicted
at
every
turn--fighting
without
and
fear
within.
7:6 But
God,
who
comforts
the
downcast,
comforted
us
by
the
coming
of
Titus,
7:7 and
not
only
by
his
coming
but
also
by
the
comfort
with
which
he
was
comforted
by
you,
as
he
told
us
of
your
longing,
your
mourning,
your
zeal
for
me,
so
that
I
rejoiced
still
more.
7:8 For
even
if
I
made
you
grieve
with
my
letter,
I
do
not
regret
it--though
I
did
regret
it,
for
I
see
that
that
letter
grieved
you,
though
only
for
a
while.
7:9 As
it
is,
I
rejoice,
not
because
you
were
grieved,
but
because
you
were
grieved
into
repenting.
For
you
felt
a
godly
grief,
so
that
you
suffered
no
loss
through
us.
7:10 For
godly
grief
produces
a
repentance
that
leads
to
salvation
without
regret,
whereas
worldly
grief
produces
death.
7:11 For
see
what
earnestness
this
godly
grief
has
produced
in
you,
but
also
what
eagerness
to
clear
yourselves,
what
indignation,
what
fear,
what
longing,
what
zeal,
what
punishment!
At
every
point
you
have
proved
yourselves
innocent
in
the
matter.
7:12 So
although
I
wrote
to
you,
it
was
not
for
the
sake
of
the
one
who
did
the
wrong,
nor
for
the
sake
of
the
one
who
suffered
the
wrong,
but
in
order
that
your
earnestness
for
us
might
be
revealed
to
you
in
the
sight
of
God.
7:13 Therefore
we
are
comforted.
And
besides
our
own
comfort,
we
rejoiced
still
more
at
the
joy
of
Titus,
because
his
spirit
has
been
refreshed
by
you
all.
7:14 For
whatever
boasts
I
made
to
him
about
you,
I
was
not
put
to
shame.
But
just
as
everything
we
said
to
you
was
true,
so
also
our
boasting
before
Titus
has
proved
true.
7:15 And
his
affection
for
you
is
even
greater,
as
he
remembers
the
obedience
of
you
all,
how
you
received
him
with
fear
and
trembling.
7:16 I
rejoice,
because
I
have
perfect
confidence
in
you.
