YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Therefore
, beloved
, since
we
have
these promises, let
us
cleanse ourselves from everything
that
defiles
body
and spirit, perfecting holiness
in the fear of God .
Having
, then
, these promises, beloved,
may
we
cleanse ourselves from every
pollution
of
flesh
and spirit, perfecting sanctification
in the fear of God ;
Make
room
for
us in
your
hearts.
We
have
wronged
no one ,
we have
corrupted
no one ,
we have
exploited
no one .
receive
us ;
no one did
we wrong;
no one did
we waste;
no one did
we
defraud;
I
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.
not to condemn you do
I say
`it',
for
I
have said before that in
our hearts ye
are
to
die with and
to
live
with;
Great is my confidence
in
you ;
great is
my pride
in
you
; I am
filled with encouragement;
in
all our troubles
my
joy
overflows.
great `
is '
my freedom
of
speech
unto
you ,
great my glory
on
your
behalf
; I have
been
filled with the
comfort,
I
overabound
with
the
joy
on
all our tribulation,
For when
we arrived
in
Macedonia, our bodies
had no
rest
, but we
were
pressed
from
every
direction—conflicts
on the
outside
, fears
within .
for also
we ,
having
come
to
Macedonia, no
relaxation
hath
our flesh
had, but on every
side
we
are
in
tribulation
, without
`are'
fightings,
within --
fears;
But God,
who comforts
the downcast,
comforted
us by
the arrival
of Titus ,
but He
who is
comforting
the cast-down
--
God
--
He
did
comfort
us in
the presence
of Titus ;
and 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 .
and not only in
his presence
, but also in
the comfort with
which
he was
comforted
over
you ,
declaring
to
us your longing desire
, your lamentation
, your zeal for me, so that the more I
did
rejoice,
Even 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
.
because
even if I made
you sorry
in
the
letter, I do not repent
--
if
even
I did repent
--
for
I perceive
that the
letter, even
if
for an
hour,
did
make
you
sorry
.
And
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 .
I now
do
rejoice, not that
ye
were made sorry
, but that
ye
were
made
sorry
to reformation,
for ye
were
made
sorry
toward
God, that
in nothing
ye
might
receive
damage
from
us ;
Godly
sorrow brings
repentance
that
leads
to salvation without
regret
, but
worldly
sorrow brings
death .
for
the
sorrow toward
God
reformation
to salvation not
to
be
repented
of
doth
work
, and
the
sorrow of
the
world
doth
work
death ,
Consider
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.
for,
lo,
this same
thing
--
your
being
made
sorry
toward
God
--
how
much
diligence
it
doth
work
in you !
but
defence
, but
displeasure
, but
fear
, but
longing desire
, but
zeal, but
revenge;
in every thing
ye
did
approve
yourselves to be pure
in the
matter.
So
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 .
If,
then,
I also
wrote to you --
not for
his
cause
who did wrong ,
nor
for
his
cause
who did
suffer
wrong
, but for
our diligence
in
your
behalf being
manifested
unto
you before
God --
On
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 .
because
of this we have
been
comforted
in your
comfort
, and
more abundantly
the more
did
we
rejoice
in
the
joy of Titus ,
that
his spirit hath
been refreshed from
you all;
Indeed
, 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.
because
if
anything
to
him
in
your
behalf
I
have
boasted
, I was not put
to shame;
but as all
things
in
truth
we did
speak
to you, so also
our boasting before
Titus became
truth,
And his affection for
you
is even
greater
when
he
remembers
that
you were
all
obedient
as
you welcomed
him
with fear and trembling .
and his tender
affection is more
abundantly
toward
you ,
remembering
the
obedience
of
you all,
how
with fear and trembling ye
did
receive
him;
I rejoice that I can
have complete
confidence
in you.
I rejoice ,
therefore,
that in
everything
I have courage
in you.
