\subsection{II Corinthians 7 }
\VS{1} So having therefore these promises, agape-beloved, let us cleanse ourselves 
from every defilement of flesh and spirit, completing holiness in fear of 
God. 
\VS{2} Make room for us; we have done no one injustice, we have 
corrupted no one, we have defrauded no one. 
\VS{3} I say [this] not for 
condemnation, for I have told you before, that you are in our hearts to be 
co-dying and co-living. 
\VS{4} Great boldness [is] to me towards you, great 
boasting is to me concerning you, I am filled with comfort, I am overflowed 
with joy upon all our afflictions. 
\VS{5} For we having come to Macedonia, 
our flesh had no rest, but being afflicted in everything, strife without, 
fear within. 
\VS{6} But the [one] comforting the humble, [namely] God, comforted us by 
the coming of Titus. 
\VS{7} But not only by his coming, but also by the 
comfort by which he was comforted by you, reporting to us your longing, your 
lamentation, your zeal in our behalf, so that I rather rejoiced. 
\VS{8} For 
if I pained you with the letter, I do not regret [it], and if I were regretting, 
I see that though that letter pained you for [an] hour, 
\VS{9} now I rejoice, 
not that you were pained, but that you were pained to repentance. For you 
were pained according to God, in order that you suffer loss\fnZemioo{} from us in 
nothing. 
\VS{10} For the pain according to God works repentance to salvation 
without regret, but the pain of this world works death. 
\VS{11} For behold 
this same [thing], to be pained according to God, how great [an] earnestness it worked 
in you, indeed defense, indeed indignation, indeed fear, indeed longing, 
indeed zeal, indeed vengeance. In everything you have commended yourselves 
to be pure in the matter. 
\VS{12} Therefore though I wrote to you, [it is] not on 
account of [one] having done injustice, nor on account of the [one] having been done 
injustice, but on account [of your] earnestness concerning us having been manifested 
before God. 
\VS{13} Because of this we were comforted. And by your comfort 
we rather exceedingly more rejoiced upon the joy of Titus, because his 
spirit was rested by you all. 
\VS{14} For if I have boasted anything to him 
concerning you, I was not shamed, but as everything I spoke to you in truth, 
thus also our boast to Titus became truth. 
\VS{15} And his 
guts\footnote{i.e. ``feelings''} for you are abundantly more, [he] remembering 
all your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him. 
\VS{16} I 
rejoice that in everything I am confident in you.
