Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
1ταυτασ ουν εχοντεσ τασ επαγγελιασ αγαπητοι καθαρισωμεν εαυτουσ απο παντοσ μολυσμου σαρκοσ και πνευματοσ επιτελουντεσ αγιωσυνην εν φοβω θεου
2Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.
2χωρησατε ημασ ουδενα ηδικησαμεν ουδενα εφθειραμεν ουδενα επλεονεκτησαμεν
3I do not say this to condemn you. I have said before that you so occupy our hearts that we live and die together with you.
3ου προσ κατακρισιν λεγω προειρηκα γαρ οτι εν ταισ καρδιαισ ημων εστε εισ το συναποθανειν και συζην
4Great is my confidence in you; great is my pride in you; I am filled with encouragement; in all our troubles my joy overflows.
4πολλη μοι παρρησια προσ υμασ πολλη μοι καυχησισ υπερ υμων πεπληρωμαι τη παρακλησει υπερπερισσευομαι τη χαρα επι παση τη θλιψει ημων
5For when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears within.
5και γαρ ελθοντων ημων εισ μακεδονιαν ουδεμιαν εσχηκεν ανεσιν η σαρξ ημων αλλ εν παντι θλιβομενοι εξωθεν μαχαι εσωθεν φοβοι
6But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,
6αλλ ο παρακαλων τουσ ταπεινουσ παρεκαλεσεν ημασ ο θεοσ εν τη παρουσια τιτου
7and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.
7ου μονον δε εν τη παρουσια αυτου αλλα και εν τη παρακλησει η παρεκληθη εφ υμιν αναγγελλων ημιν την υμων επιποθησιν τον υμων οδυρμον τον υμων ζηλον υπερ εμου ωστε με μαλλον χαρηναι
8Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it, I now see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time.
8οτι ει και ελυπησα υμασ εν τη επιστολη ου μεταμελομαι ει και μετεμελομην βλεπω γαρ οτι η επιστολη εκεινη ει και προσ ωραν ελυπησεν υμασ
9And now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us.
9νυν χαιρω ουχ οτι ελυπηθητε αλλ οτι ελυπηθητε εισ μετανοιαν ελυπηθητε γαρ κατα θεον ινα εν μηδενι ζημιωθητε εξ ημων
10Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
10η γαρ κατα θεον λυπη μετανοιαν εισ σωτηριαν αμεταμελητον κατεργαζεται η δε του κοσμου λυπη θανατον κατεργαζεται
11Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
11ιδου γαρ αυτο τουτο το κατα θεον λυπηθηναι υμασ ποσην κατειργασατο υμιν σπουδην αλλα απολογιαν αλλα αγανακτησιν αλλα φοβον αλλα επιποθησιν αλλα ζηλον αλλα εκδικησιν εν παντι συνεστησατε εαυτουσ αγνουσ ειναι εν τω πραγματι
12So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong or the one who was harmed, but rather that your earnestness on our behalf would be made clear to you in the sight of God.
12αρα ει και εγραψα υμιν ουχ εινεκεν του αδικησαντοσ ουδε εινεκεν του αδικηθεντοσ αλλ εινεκεν του φανερωθηναι την σπουδην υμων την υπερ ημων προσ υμασ ενωπιον του θεου
13On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.
13δια τουτο παρακεκλημεθα επι δε τη παρακλησει υμων περισσοτερωσ μαλλον εχαρημεν επι τη χαρα τιτου οτι αναπεπαυται το πνευμα αυτου απο παντων υμων
14Indeed, I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well.
14οτι ει τι αυτω υπερ υμων κεκαυχημαι ου κατησχυνθην αλλ ωσ παντα εν αληθεια ελαλησαμεν υμιν ουτωσ και η καυχησισ ημων η επι τιτου αληθεια εγενηθη
15And his affection for you is even greater when he remembers that you were all obedient as you welcomed him with fear and trembling.
15και τα σπλαγχνα αυτου περισσοτερωσ εισ υμασ εστιν αναμιμνησκομενου την παντων υμων υπακοην ωσ μετα φοβου και τρομου εδεξασθε αυτον
16I rejoice that I can have complete confidence in you.
16χαιρω οτι εν παντι θαρρω εν υμιν
