NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

2 Corinthians 7

Paul Reveals His Heart

1

Thereforeg3767, havingg2192 theseg3778 promisesg1860,  abelovedg27,  blet us cleanseg2511 ourselvesg1438 from allg3956 defilementg3436 of fleshg4561 and spiritg4151, perfectingg2005 holinessg42 in the fearg5401 of Godg2316.

2

 aMakeg5562 roomg5562 for us in your hearts; we wrongedg91 nog3762 oneg3762, we corruptedg5351 nog3762 oneg3762, we tookg4122 advantageg4122 of nog3762 oneg3762.

3

I do not speakg3004 to condemng2633 you, for I have saidg4275b  abeforeg4275b that you are  bin our heartsg2588 to dieg4880 togetherg4880 and to liveg4800 togetherg4800.

4

Greatg4183 is my  aconfidenceg3954  1in you; greatg4183 is my  bboastingg2746a on your behalfg5228. I am filledg4137 with  ccomfortg3874; I am overflowingg5248 with  djoyg5479 in allg3956 our afflictiong2347.

5

For eveng2532 when we cameg2064 into  aMacedoniag3109 our fleshg4561 hadg2192 nog3762 restg425, but we were  bafflictedg2346 on everyg3956 side:  cconflictsg3163 withoutg1855, fearsg5401 withing2081.

6

But  aGodg2316, who comfortsg3870 the  1depressedg5011,  bcomfortedg3870 us by the comingg3952 of  cTitusg5103;

7

and not onlyg3440 by his comingg3952, but alsog2532 by the comfortg3874 with whichg3739 he was comfortedg3870 in you, as he reportedg312 to us your longingg1972, your mourningg3602, your zealg2205b for me; sog5620 that I rejoicedg5463 even moreg3123.

8

For thoughg1487g2532 I  acausedg3076 you sorrowg3076 by my letterg1992, I do not regretg3338 it; thoughg1487g2532 I did regretg3338 it--for I seeg991 that that letterg1992 causedg3076 you sorrowg3076, thoughg1487g2532 onlyg2532 for a whileg5610--

9

I nowg3568 rejoiceg5463, not that you were madeg3076 sorrowfulg3076, but that you were madeg3076 sorrowfulg3076 to the point of repentanceg3341; for you were madeg3076 sorrowfulg3076 accordingg2596 to the will of Godg2316, sog2443 that you might not sufferg2210 lossg2210 in anythingg3367  1throughg1537 us.

10

For the sorrowg3077 that is accordingg2596 to the will of Godg2316 producesg2038b a  arepentanceg3341  1withoutg278 regretg278, leading to salvationg4991, but the sorrowg3077 of the worldg2889 producesg2716 deathg2288.

11

For beholdg2400 whatg4214 earnestnessg4710 thisg3778 veryg846 thingg846, thisg3588  1godlyg2596g2316 sorrowg3076, has producedg2716 in you: whatg235 vindicationg627 of yourselves, whatg235 indignationg24, whatg235 fearg5401, whatg235  alongingg1972, whatg235 zealg2205b, whatg235  bavengingg1557 of wrongg1557! In everythingg3956 you  cdemonstratedg4921 yourselvesg1438 to be innocentg53 in the matterg4229.

12

Sog686 althoughg1487g2532  aI wroteg1125 to you, it was not for the sakeg1752a of  bthe offenderg91 norg3761 for the sakeg1752a of the one offendedg91, but that your earnestnessg4710 on our behalfg5228 might be madeg5319 knowng5319 to you in the sightg1799 of Godg2316.

13

For thisg3778 reasong1223 we have been  acomfortedg3870.

And besidesg1909 our comfortg3874, we rejoicedg5463 eveng4057 muchg3123 moreg4057 for the joyg5479 of  bTitusg5103, becauseg3754 his  cspiritg4151 has been refreshedg373 by you allg3956.

14

For ifg1487 in anythingg5100 I have  aboastedg2744 to him aboutg5228 you, I was not putg2617b to shameg2617b; but as we spokeg2980 allg3956 thingsg3956 to you in truthg225, sog3779 alsog2532 our boastingg2746a beforeg1909  bTitusg5103 provedg1096 to be the truthg225.

15

His  1affectiong4698 aboundsg4053 allg4053 the moreg4053 towardg1519 you, as he remembersg363 the  aobedienceg5218 of you allg3956, howg5613 you receivedg1209 him with  bfearg5401 and tremblingg5156.

16

I rejoiceg5463 that in everythingg3956  aI haveg2292 confidenceg2292 in you.
