Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh 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
2Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
2χωρησατε ημασ ουδενα ηδικησαμεν ουδενα εφθειραμεν ουδενα επλεονεκτησαμεν
3I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
3ου προσ κατακρισιν λεγω προειρηκα γαρ οτι εν ταισ καρδιαισ ημων εστε εισ το συναποθανειν και συζην
4Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
4πολλη μοι παρρησια προσ υμασ πολλη μοι καυχησισ υπερ υμων πεπληρωμαι τη παρακλησει υπερπερισσευομαι τη χαρα επι παση τη θλιψει ημων
5For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
5και γαρ ελθοντων ημων εισ μακεδονιαν ουδεμιαν εσχηκεν ανεσιν η σαρξ ημων αλλ εν παντι θλιβομενοι εξωθεν μαχαι εσωθεν φοβοι
6Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
6αλλ ο παρακαλων τουσ ταπεινουσ παρεκαλεσεν ημασ ο θεοσ εν τη παρουσια τιτου
7and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still 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
8For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
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
9I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
9νυν χαιρω ουχ οτι ελυπηθητε αλλ οτι ελυπηθητε εισ μετανοιαν ελυπηθητε γαρ κατα θεον ινα εν μηδενι ζημιωθητε εξ ημων
10For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
10η γαρ κατα θεον λυπη μετανοιαν εισ σωτηριαν αμεταμελητον κατεργαζεται η δε του κοσμου λυπη θανατον κατεργαζεται
11For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the 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 although I wrote to 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 revealed in 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
13Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
13δια τουτο παρακεκλημεθα επι δε τη παρακλησει υμων περισσοτερωσ μαλλον εχαρημεν επι τη χαρα τιτου οτι αναπεπαυται το πνευμα αυτου απο παντων υμων
14For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
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
15His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
15και τα σπλαγχνα αυτου περισσοτερωσ εισ υμασ εστιν αναμιμνησκομενου την παντων υμων υπακοην ωσ μετα φοβου και τρομου εδεξασθε αυτον
16I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
16χαιρω οτι εν παντι θαρρω εν υμιν
