2 Corinthians 7:6

Compare all

4 ^aGreat is my boldness of speech toward you, ^bgreat is my boasting on your behalf. ^cI am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation.

5 For indeed, ^awhen we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but ^bwe were troubled on every side. ^cOutside were conflicts, inside were fears.

6 Nevertheless ^aGod, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by ^bthe coming of Titus,

7 and not only by his coming, but also by the¹ consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

8 For even if I made you ^asorry with my letter, I do not regret it; ^bthough I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while.

9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

10 For ^agodly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; ^bbut the sorrow of the world produces death.

11 For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what ^aclearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be ^bclear in this matter.

12 Therefore, although I wrote to you, I did not do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, ^abut that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.

The Joy of Titus

13 Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. And we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit ^ahas been refreshed by you all.
