2 Corinthians 7:1--9:15

Having
<2192> (5723)
therefore
<3767>
these
<5025>
promises
<1860>_,
dearly beloved
<27>_,
let us cleanse
<2511> (5661)
ourselves
<1438>
from
<575>
all
<3956>
filthiness
<3436>
of the flesh
<4561>
and
<2532>
spirit
<4151>_,
perfecting
<2005> (5723)
holiness
<42>
in
<1722>
the fear
<5401>
of God
<2316>_.
Receive
<5562> (5657)
us
<2248>_;
we have wronged
<91> (5656)
no man
<3762>_,
we have corrupted
<5351> (5656)
no man
<3762>_,
we have defrauded
<4122> (5656)
no man
<3762>_.
I speak
<3004> (5719)
not
<3756>
[this] to
<4314>
condemn
<2633>
[you]: for
<1063>
I have said before
<4280> (5758)_,
that
<3754>
ye are
<2075> (5748)
in
<1722>
our
<2257>
hearts
<2588>
to
<1519>
die
<4880> (5629)
and
<2532>
live with
<4800> (5721)
[you].
Great
<4183>
[is] my
<3427>
boldness of speech
<3954>
toward
<4314>
you
<5209>_,
great
<4183>
[is] my
<3427>
glorying
<2746>
of
<5228>
you
<5216>_:
I am filled
<4137> (5769)
with comfort
<3874>_,
I am exceeding
<5248> (5731)
joyful
<5479>
in
<1909>
all
<3956>
our
<2257>
tribulation
<2347>_.
For
<1063> <2532>_,
when we
<2257>
were come
<2064> (5631)
into
<1519>
Macedonia
<3109>_,
our
<2257>
flesh
<4561>
had
<2192> (5758)
no
<3762>
rest
<425>_,
but
<235>
we were troubled
<2346> (5746)
on
<1722>
every side
<3956>_;
without
<1855>
[were] fightings
<3163>_,
within
<2081>
[were] fears
<5401>_.
Nevertheless
<235>
God
<2316>_,
that comforteth
<3870> (5723)
those that are cast down
<5011>_,
comforted
<3870> (5656)
us
<2248>
by
<1722>
the coming
<3952>
of Titus
<5103>_;
And
<1161>
not
<3756>
by
<1722>
his
<846>
coming
<3952>
only
<3440>_,
but
<235> <2532>
by
<1722>
the consolation
<3874>
wherewith
<3739>
he was comforted
<3870> (5681)
in
<1909>
you
<5213>_,
when he told
<312> (5723)
us
<2254>
your
<5216>
earnest desire
<1972>_,
your
<5216>
mourning
<3602>_,
your
<5216>
fervent mind
<2205>
toward
<5228>
me
<1700>_;
so
<5620>
that I
<3165>
rejoiced
<5463> (5646)
the more
<3123>_.
For
<3754>
though
<1499>
I made
<3076> (0)
you
<5209>
sorry
<3076> (5656)
with
<1722>
a letter
<1992>_,
I do
<3338> (0)
not
<3756>
repent
<3338> (5736)_,
though
<1499>
I did repent
<3338> (5711)_:
for
<1063>
I perceive
<991> (5719)
that
<3754>
the same
<1565>
epistle
<1992>
hath made
<3076> (0)
you
<5209>
sorry
<3076> (5656)_,
though [it were] but
<1499>
for
<4314>
a season
<5610>_.
Now
<3568>
I rejoice
<5463> (5719)_,
not
<3756>
that
<3754>
ye were made sorry
<3076> (5681)_,
but
<235>
that
<3754>
ye sorrowed
<3076> (5681)
to
<1519>
repentance
<3341>_:
for
<1063>
ye were made sorry
<3076> (5681)
after
<2596>
a godly manner
<2316>_,
that
<2443>
ye might receive damage
<2210> (5686)
by
<1537>
us
<2257>
in
<1722>
nothing
<3367>_.
{after...: or, according to God}
For
<1063>
godly
<2316> <2596>
sorrow
<3077>
worketh
<2716> (5736)
repentance
<3341>
to
<1519>
salvation
<4991>
not to be repented of
<278>_:
but
<1161>
the sorrow
<3077>
of the world
<2889>
worketh
<2716> (5736)
death
<2288>_.
For
<1063>
behold
<2400> (5628)
this
<5124>
selfsame thing
<846>_,
that
<5209>
ye sorrowed
<3076> (5683)
after
<2596>
a godly sort
<2316>_,
what
<4214>
carefulness
<4710>
it wrought
<2716> (5662)
in you
<5213>_,
yea
<235>_,
[what] clearing of yourselves
<627>_,
yea
<235>_,
[what] indignation
<24>_,
yea
<235>_,
[what] fear
<5401>_,
yea
<235>_,
[what] vehement desire
<1972>_,
yea
<235>_,
[what] zeal
<2205>_,
yea
<235>_,
[what] revenge
<1557>_!
In
<1722>
all
<3956>
[things] ye have approved
<4921> (5656)
yourselves
<1438>
to be
<1511> (5750)
clear
<53>
in
<1722>
this matter
<4229>_.
Wherefore
<686>_,
though
<1499>
I wrote
<1125> (5656)
unto you
<5213>_,
[I did it] not
<3756>
for his cause
<1752>
that had done the wrong
<91> (5660)_,
nor
<3761>
for his cause
<1752>
that suffered wrong
<91> (5685)_,
but
<235>
that
<1752>
our
<2257>
care
<4710>
for
<5228>
you
<5216>
in the sight
<1799>
of God
<2316>
might appear
<5319> (5683)
unto
<4314>
you
<5209>_.
Therefore
<1223> <5124>
we were comforted
<3870> (5769)
in
<1909>
your
<5216>
comfort
<3874>_:
yea, and
<1161>
exceedingly
<4056>
the more
<3123>
joyed we
<5463> (5644)
for
<1909>
the joy
<5479>
of Titus
<5103>_,
because
<3754>
his
<846>
spirit
<4151>
was refreshed
<373> (5769)
by
<575>
you
<5216>
all
<3956>_.
For
<3754>
if I have boasted
<2744> (5766)
any thing
<1536>
to him
<846>
of
<5228>
you
<5216>_,
I am
<2617> (0)
not
<3756>
ashamed
<2617> (5681)_;
but
<235>
as
<5613>
we spake
<2980> (5656)
all things
<3956>
to you
<5213>
in
<1722>
truth
<225>_,
even
<2532>
so
<3779>
our
<2257>
boasting
<2746>_,
which
<3588>
[I made] before
<1909>
Titus
<5103>_,
is found
<1096> (5675)
a truth
<225>_.
And
<2532>
his
<846>
inward affection
<4698>
is
<2076> (5748)
more abundant
<4056>
toward
<1519>
you
<5209>_,
whilst he remembereth
<363> (5734)
the obedience
<5218>
of you
<5216>
all
<3956>_,
how
<5613>
with
<3326>
fear
<5401>
and
<2532>
trembling
<5156>
ye received
<1209> (5662)
him
<846>_.
{inward...: Gr. bowels}
I rejoice
<5463> (5719)
therefore that
<3754>
I have confidence
<2292> (5719)
in
<1722>
you
<5213>
in
<1722>
all
<3956>
[things].
Moreover
<1161>_,
brethren
<80>_,
we do
<1107> (0)
you
<5213>
to wit
<1107> (5719)
of the grace
<5485>
of God
<2316>
bestowed
<1325> (5772)
on
<1722>
the churches
<1577>
of Macedonia
<3109>_;
How that
<3754>
in
<1722>
a great
<4183>
trial
<1382>
of affliction
<2347>
the abundance
<4050>
of their
<846>
joy
<5479>
and
<2532>
their
<846>
deep
<899>
poverty
<2596> <4432>
abounded
<4052> (5656)
unto
<1519>
the riches
<4149>
of their
<846>
liberality
<572>_.
{liberality: Gr. simplicity}
For
<3754>
to
<2596>
[their] power
<1411>_,
I bear record
<3140> (5719)_,
yea, and
<2532>
beyond
<5228>
[their] power
<1411>
[they were] willing of themselves
<830>_;
Praying
<1189> (5740)
us
<2257>
with
<3326>
much
<4183>
intreaty
<3874>
that we
<2248>
would receive
<1209> (5664)
the gift
<5485>_,
and
<2532>
[take upon us] the fellowship
<2842>
of the ministering
<1248>
to
<1519>
the saints
<40>_.
And
<2532>
[this they did], not
<3756>
as
<2531>
we hoped
<1679> (5656)_,
but
<235>
first
<4412>
gave
<1325> (5656)
their own selves
<1438>
to the Lord
<2962>_,
and
<2532>
unto us
<2254>
by
<1223>
the will
<2307>
of God
<2316>_.
Insomuch
<1519>
that we
<2248>
desired
<3870> (5658)
Titus
<5103>_,
that
<2443>
as
<2531>
he had begun
<4278> (5662)_,
so
<3779>
he would
<2005> (0)
also
<2532>
finish
<2005> (5661)
in
<1519>
you
<5209>
the same
<5026>
grace
<5485>
also
<2532>_.
{grace: or, gift}
Therefore
<235>_,
as
<5618>
ye abound
<4052> (5719)
in
<1722>
every
<3956>
[thing, in] faith
<4102>_,
and
<2532>
utterance
<3056>_,
and
<2532>
knowledge
<1108>_,
and
<2532>
[in] all
<3956>
diligence
<4710>_,
and
<2532>
[in] your
<5216>
love
<26> <1537>
to
<1722>
us
<2254>_,
[see] that
<2443>
ye abound
<4052> (5725)
in
<1722>
this
<5026>
grace
<5485>
also
<2532>_.
I speak
<3004> (5719)
not
<3756>
by
<2596>
commandment
<2003>_,
but
<235>
by occasion
<1223>
of the forwardness
<4710>
of others
<2087>_,
and
<2532>
to prove
<1381> (5723)
the sincerity
<1103>
of your
<5212>
love
<26>_.
For
<1063>
ye know
<1097> (5719) (5720)
the grace
<5485>
of our
<2257>
Lord
<2962>
Jesus
<2424>
Christ
<5547>_,
that
<3754>_,
though he was
<5607> (5752)
rich
<4145>_,
yet for
<1223> (0)
your
<5209>
sakes
<1223>
he became poor
<4433> (5656)_,
that
<2443>
ye
<5210>
through his
<1565>
poverty
<4432>
might be rich
<4147> (5661)_.
And
<2532>
herein
<1722> <5129>
I give
<1325> (5719)
[my] advice
<1106>_:
for
<1063>
this
<5124>
is expedient
<4851> (5719)
for you
<5213>_,
who
<3748>
have begun before
<4278> (5662)_,
not
<3756>
only
<3440>
to do
<4160> (5658)_,
but
<235>
also
<2532>
to be forward
<2309> (5721)
a year
<4070>
ago
<575>_.
{forward: Gr. willing}
Now
<3570> <1161>
therefore
<2532>
perform
<2005> (5657)
the doing
<4160> (5658)
[of it]; that
<3704>
as
<2509>
[there was] a readiness
<4288>
to will
<2309> (5721)_,
so
<3779>
[there may be] a performance
<2005> (5658)
also
<2532>
out of
<1537>
that which ye have
<2192> (5721)_.
For
<1063>
if there
<1487>
be first
<4295> (5736)
a willing mind
<4288>_,
[it is] accepted
<2144>
according to
<2526>
that
<1437>
a man
<5100>
hath
<2192> (5725)_,
[and] not
<3756>
according to that
<2526>
he hath
<2192> (5719)
not
<3756>_.
For
<1063>
[I mean] not
<3756>
that
<2443>
other men
<243>
be eased
<425>_,
and
<1161>
ye
<5213>
burdened
<2347>_:
But
<235>
by
<1537>
an equality
<2471>_,
[that] now
<3568>
at
<1722>
this time
<2540>
your
<5216>
abundance
<4051>
[may be a supply] for
<1519>
their
<1565>
want
<5303>_,
that
<2443>
their
<1565>
abundance
<4051>
also
<2532>
may be
<1096> (5638)
[a supply] for
<1519>
your
<5216>
want
<5303>_:
that
<3704>
there may be
<1096> (5638)
equality
<2471>_:
As
<2531>
it is written
<1125> (5769)_,
He that [had gathered
<3588>_]
much
<4183>
had
<4121> (0)
nothing
<3756>
over
<4121> (5656)_;
and
<2532>
he that [had gathered
<3588>_]
little
<3641>
had
<1641> (0)
no
<3756>
lack
<1641> (5656)_.
But
<1161>
thanks
<5485>
[be] to God
<2316>_,
which
<3588>
put
<1325> (5723)
the same
<846>
earnest care
<4710>
into
<1722>
the heart
<2588>
of Titus
<5103>
for
<5228>
you
<5216>_.
For
<3754>
indeed
<3303>
he accepted
<1209> (5662)
the exhortation
<3874>_;
but
<1161>
being
<5225> (5723)
more forward
<4707>_,
of his own accord
<830>
he went
<1831> (5627)
unto
<4314>
you
<5209>_.
And
<1161>
we have sent
<4842> (5656)
with
<3326>
him
<846>
the brother
<80>_,
whose
<3739>
praise
<1868>
[is] in
<1722>
the gospel
<2098>
throughout
<1223>
all
<3956>
the churches
<1577>_;
And
<1161>
not
<3756>
[that] only
<3440>_,
but
<235>
who was
<5500> (0)
also
<2532>
chosen
<5500> (5685)
of
<5259>
the churches
<1577>
to travel
<4898>
with us
<2257>
with
<4862>
this
<5026>
grace
<5485>_,
which
<3588>
is administered
<1247> (5746)
by
<5259>
us
<2257>
to
<4314>
the glory
<1391>
of the same
<846>
Lord
<2962>_,
and
<2532>
[declaration of] your
<5216>
ready mind
<4288>_:
{grace: or, gift}
Avoiding
<4724> (5734)
this
<5124>_,
that no
<3361>
man
<5100>
should blame
<3469> (5667)
us
<2248>
in
<1722>
this
<5026>
abundance
<100>
which
<3588>
is administered
<1247> (5746)
by
<5259>
us
<2257>_:
Providing
<4306> (5734)
for honest things
<2570>_,
not
<3756>
only
<3440>
in the sight
<1799>
of the Lord
<2962>_,
but
<235>
also
<2532>
in the sight
<1799>
of men
<444>_.
And
<1161>
we have sent
<4842> (5656)
with them
<846>
our
<2257>
brother
<80>_,
whom
<3739>
we have
<1381> (0)
oftentimes
<4178>
proved
<1381> (5656) <5607> (5752)
diligent
<4705>
in
<1722>
many things
<4183>_,
but
<1161>
now
<3570>
much
<4183>
more diligent
<4707>_,
upon the great
<4183>
confidence
<4006>
which
<3588>
[I have] in
<1519>
you
<5209>_.
{I have: or, he hath}
Whether
<1535>
[any do enquire] of
<5228>
Titus
<5103>_,
[he is] my
<1699>
partner
<2844>
and
<2532>
fellowhelper
<4904>
concerning
<1519>
you
<5209>_:
or
<1535>
our
<2257>
brethren
<80>
[be enquired of, they are] the messengers
<652>
of the churches
<1577>_,
[and] the glory
<1391>
of Christ
<5547>_.
Wherefore
<3767>
shew ye
<1731> (5669)
to
<1519>
them
<846>_,
and
<2532>
before
<1519> <4383>
the churches
<1577>_,
the proof
<1732>
of your
<5216>
love
<26>_,
and
<2532>
of our
<2257>
boasting
<2746>
on
<5228> (0)
your
<5216>
behalf
<5228>_.
For
<1063>
as
<3303>
touching
<4012>
the ministering
<1248>
to
<1519>
the saints
<40>_,
it is
<2076> (5748)
superfluous
<4053>
for me
<3427>
to write
<1125> (5721)
to you
<5213>_:
For
<1063>
I know
<1492> (5758)
the forwardness of
<4288> (0)
your
<5216>
mind
<4288>_,
for which
<3739>
I boast
<2744> (5736)
of
<5228>
you
<5216>
to them of Macedonia
<3110>_,
that
<3754>
Achaia
<882>
was ready
<3903> (5769)
a year
<4070>
ago
<575>_;
and
<2532>
your
<5216>
zeal
<2205> <1537>
hath provoked
<2042> (5656)
very many
<4119>_.
Yet
<1161>
have I sent
<3992> (5656)
the brethren
<80>_,
lest
<3363>
our
<2257>
boasting
<2745>
of
<5228>
you
<5216>
should be in vain
<2758> (5686)
in
<1722>
this
<5129>
behalf
<3313>_;
that
<2443>_,
as
<2531>
I said
<3004> (5707)_,
ye may be
<5600> (5753)
ready
<3903> (5772)_:
Lest
<3381>
haply
<4458>
if
<1437>
they of Macedonia
<3110>
come
<2064> (5632)
with
<4862>
me
<1698>_,
and
<2532>
find
<2147> (5627)
you
<5209>
unprepared
<532>_,
we
<2249>
(that
<3363> (0)
we say
<3004> (5725)
not
<3363>_,
ye
<5210>)
should be ashamed
<2617> (5686)
in
<1722>
this same
<5026>
confident
<5287>
boasting
<2746>_.
Therefore
<3767>
I thought
<2233> (5662)
it necessary
<316>
to exhort
<3870> (5658)
the brethren
<80>_,
that
<2443>
they would go before
<4281> (5632)
unto
<1519>
you
<5209>_,
and
<2532>
make up beforehand
<4294> (5661)
your
<5216>
bounty
<2129>_,
whereof ye had notice before
<4293> (5772)_,
that the same
<5026>
might be
<1511> (5750)
ready
<2092>_,

<3779>
as
<5613>
[a matter of] bounty
<2129>_,
and
<2532>
not
<3361>
as
<5618>
[of] covetousness
<4124>_.
{bounty: Gr. blessing} {whereof...: or, which hath been so much spoken of before}
But
<1161>
this
<5124>
[I say], He which soweth
<4687> (5723)
sparingly
<5340>
shall reap
<2325> (5692)
also
<2532>
sparingly
<5340>_;
and
<2532>
he which soweth
<4687> (5723)
bountifully
<1909> <2129>
shall reap
<2325> (5692)
also
<2532>
bountifully
<1909> <2129>_.
Every man
<1538>
according as
<2531>
he purposeth
<4255> (5736)
in his heart
<2588>_,
[so let him give]; not
<3361>
grudgingly
<1537> <3077>_,
or
<2228>
of
<1537>
necessity
<318>_:
for
<1063>
God
<2316>
loveth
<25> (5719)
a cheerful
<2431>
giver
<1395>_.
And
<1161>
God
<2316>
[is] able
<1415>
to make
<4052> (0)
all
<3956>
grace
<5485>
abound
<4052> (5658)
toward
<1519>
you
<5209>_;
that
<2443>
ye, always
<3842>
having
<2192> (5723)
all
<3956>
sufficiency
<841>
in
<1722>
all
<3956>
[things], may abound
<4052> (5725)
to
<1519>
every
<3956>
good
<18>
work
<2041>_:
(As
<2531>
it is written
<1125> (5769)_,
He hath dispersed abroad
<4650> (5656)_;
he hath given
<1325> (5656)
to the poor
<3993>_:
his
<846>
righteousness
<1343>
remaineth
<3306> (5719)
for
<1519>
ever
<165>_.
Now
<1161>
he that ministereth
<2023> (5723)
seed
<4690>
to the sower
<4687> (5723)
both
<2532>
minister
<5524> (5659)
bread
<740>
for
<1519>
[your] food
<1035>_,
and
<2532>
multiply
<4129> (5659)
your
<5216>
seed sown
<4703>_,
and
<2532>
increase
<837> (5659)
the fruits
<1081>
of your
<5216>
righteousness
<1343>;)
Being enriched
<4148> (5746)
in
<1722>
every thing
<3956>
to
<1519>
all
<3956>
bountifulness
<572>_,
which
<3748>
causeth
<2716> (5736)
through
<1223>
us
<2257>
thanksgiving
<2169>
to God
<2316>_.
{bountifulness: or, liberality: Gr. simplicity}
For
<3754>
the administration
<1248>
of this
<5026>
service
<3009>
not
<3756>
only
<3440>
supplieth
<2076> (5748) <4322> (5723)
the want
<5303>
of the saints
<40>_,
but
<235>
is abundant
<4052> (5723)
also
<2532>
by
<1223>
many
<4183>
thanksgivings
<2169>
unto God
<2316>_;
Whiles by
<1223>
the experiment
<1382>
of this
<5026>
ministration
<1248>
they glorify
<1392> (5723)
God
<2316>
for
<1909>
your
<5216>
professed
<3671>
subjection
<5292>
unto
<1519>
the gospel
<2098>
of Christ
<5547>_,
and
<2532>
for [your] liberal
<572>
distribution
<2842>
unto
<1519>
them
<846>_,
and
<2532>
unto
<1519>
all
<3956>
[men];
And
<2532>
by their
<846>
prayer
<1162>
for
<5228>
you
<5216>_,
which long after
<1971> (5723)
you
<5209>
for
<1223>
the exceeding
<5235> (5723)
grace
<5485>
of God
<2316>
in
<1909>
you
<5213>_.
<1161>@ Thanks
<5485>
[be] unto God
<2316>
for
<1909>
his
<846>
unspeakable
<411>
gift
