2 Corinthians 7 : American Standard Version

1Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man. 3I say it not to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die together and live together. 4Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
5For even when
we were come into Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but we were
afflicted on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
6Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, even God,
comforted us by the coming of Titus; 7and not by his
coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in
you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me;
so that I rejoiced yet more. 8For though I made you
sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret it
(for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a
season), 9I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry,
but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry
after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing.
10For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, a
repentance which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world
worketh death. 11For behold, this selfsame thing, that
ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought
in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea
what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In
everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter. 12So although I wrote unto you, I wrote not for his cause that did the
wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your
earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of
God. 13Therefore we have been comforted: And in our
comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because
his spirit hath been refreshed by you all. 14For if in
anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to
shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying
also which I made before Titus was found to be truth. 15And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he
remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye
received him. 16I rejoice that in everything I am of
good courage concerning you.
