2 Corinthians

Chapter 7

Phonetic (Greek): taytas oyn echontes tas epangelias, agapetoi, katharisomen heautoys apo pantos molysmoy sarkos kai pneymatos, epiteloyntes hagiosynen en phobῳ theoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

ταύτας οὖν ἔχοντες τὰς ἐπαγγελίας, ἀγαπητοί, καθαρίσωμεν ἑαυτοὺς ἀπὸ παντὸς μολυσμοῦ σαρκὸς καὶ πνεύματος, ἐπιτελοῦντες ἁγιωσύνην ἐν φόβῳ θεοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): Choresate hemas· oydena edikesamen, oydena ephtheiramen, oydena epleonektesamen.

Edified Edition (EDE)Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one.

Χωρήσατε ἡμᾶς· οὐδένα ἠδικήσαμεν, οὐδένα ἐφθείραμεν, οὐδένα ἐπλεονεκτήσαμεν.

Phonetic (Greek): ⸂pros katakrisin oy⸃ lego, proeireka gar hoti en tais kardiais hemon este eis to synapothanein kai syzen.

Edified Edition (EDE)I do not say this to condemn; for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

⸂πρὸς κατάκρισιν οὐ⸃ λέγω, προείρηκα γὰρ ὅτι ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν ἐστε εἰς τὸ συναποθανεῖν καὶ συζῆν.

Phonetic (Greek): polle moi parresia pros hymas, polle moi kaychesis hyper hymon· pepleromai tῇ paraklesei, hyperperisseyomai tῇ charᾷ epi pasῃ tῇ thlipsei hemon.

Edified Edition (EDE)Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation.

πολλή μοι παρρησία πρὸς ὑμᾶς, πολλή μοι καύχησις ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν· πεπλήρωμαι τῇ παρακλήσει, ὑπερπερισσεύομαι τῇ χαρᾷ ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ θλίψει ἡμῶν.

Phonetic (Greek): Kai gar elthonton hemon eis Makedonian oydemian ⸀escheken anesin he sarx hemon, allʼ en panti thlibomenoi— exothen machai, esothen phoboi—

Edified Edition (EDE)For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears.

Καὶ γὰρ ἐλθόντων ἡμῶν εἰς Μακεδονίαν οὐδεμίαν ⸀ἔσχηκεν ἄνεσιν ἡ σὰρξ ἡμῶν, ἀλλʼ ἐν παντὶ θλιβόμενοι— ἔξωθεν μάχαι, ἔσωθεν φόβοι—

Phonetic (Greek): allʼ ho parakalon toys tapeinoys parekalesen hemas ho theos en tῇ parousiᾳ Titou·

Edified Edition (EDE)Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

ἀλλʼ ὁ παρακαλῶν τοὺς ταπεινοὺς παρεκάλεσεν ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ Τίτου·

Phonetic (Greek): oy monon de en tῇ parousiᾳ aytoy, alla kai en tῇ paraklesei he pareklethe ephʼ hymin, anangellon hemin ten hymon epipothesin, ton hymon odyrmon, ton hymon zelon hyper emoy, hoste me mallon charenai.

Edified Edition (EDE)and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

οὐ μόνον δὲ ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τῇ παρακλήσει ᾗ παρεκλήθη ἐφʼ ὑμῖν, ἀναγγέλλων ἡμῖν τὴν ὑμῶν ἐπιπόθησιν, τὸν ὑμῶν ὀδυρμόν, τὸν ὑμῶν ζῆλον ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ, ὥστε με μᾶλλον χαρῆναι.

Phonetic (Greek): hoti ei kai elypesa hymas en tῇ epistolῇ, oy metamelomai· ei kai metemelomen (⸀blepo hoti he epistole ekeine ei kai pros horan elypesen hymas),

Edified Edition (EDE)For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while.

ὅτι εἰ καὶ ἐλύπησα ὑμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἐπιστολῇ, οὐ μεταμέλομαι· εἰ καὶ μετεμελόμην (⸀βλέπω ὅτι ἡ ἐπιστολὴ ἐκείνη εἰ καὶ πρὸς ὥραν ἐλύπησεν ὑμᾶς),

Phonetic (Greek): nyn chairo, oych hoti elypethete, allʼ hoti elypethete eis metanoian, elypethete gar kata theon, hina en medeni zemiothete ex hemon.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

νῦν χαίρω, οὐχ ὅτι ἐλυπήθητε, ἀλλʼ ὅτι ἐλυπήθητε εἰς μετάνοιαν, ἐλυπήθητε γὰρ κατὰ θεόν, ἵνα ἐν μηδενὶ ζημιωθῆτε ἐξ ἡμῶν.

Phonetic (Greek): he gar kata theon lype metanoian eis soterian ametameleton ⸀ergazetai· he de toy kosmou lype thanaton katergazetai.

Edified Edition (EDE)For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

ἡ γὰρ κατὰ θεὸν λύπη μετάνοιαν εἰς σωτηρίαν ἀμεταμέλητον ⸀ἐργάζεται· ἡ δὲ τοῦ κόσμου λύπη θάνατον κατεργάζεται.

Phonetic (Greek): idoy gar ayto toyto to kata theon ⸀lypethenai posen kateirgasato hymin spouden, alla apologian, alla aganaktesin, alla phobon, alla epipothesin, alla zelon, alla ekdikesin· en panti synestesate heautoys hagnoys ⸀einai tῷ pragmati.

Edified Edition (EDE)For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: what diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

ἰδοὺ γὰρ αὐτὸ τοῦτο τὸ κατὰ θεὸν ⸀λυπηθῆναι πόσην κατειργάσατο ὑμῖν σπουδήν, ἀλλὰ ἀπολογίαν, ἀλλὰ ἀγανάκτησιν, ἀλλὰ φόβον, ἀλλὰ ἐπιπόθησιν, ἀλλὰ ζῆλον, ἀλλὰ ἐκδίκησιν· ἐν παντὶ συνεστήσατε ἑαυτοὺς ἁγνοὺς ⸀εἶναι τῷ πράγματι.

Phonetic (Greek): ara ei kai egrapsa hymin, oych ⸀heneken toy adikesantos, ⸀oyde ⸁heneken toy adikethentos, allʼ ⸀1heneken toy phanerothenai ten spouden hymon ten hyper hemon pros hymas enopion toy theoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore, although I wrote to you, I did not do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.

ἄρα εἰ καὶ ἔγραψα ὑμῖν, οὐχ ⸀ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἀδικήσαντος, ⸀οὐδὲ ⸁ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἀδικηθέντος, ἀλλʼ ⸀1ἕνεκεν τοῦ φανερωθῆναι τὴν σπουδὴν ὑμῶν τὴν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): dia toyto parakeklemetha. Ἐpi de tῇ paraklesei ⸀hemon perissoteros mallon echaremen epi tῇ charᾷ Titou, hoti anapepautai to pneyma aytoy apo panton hymon·

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. And we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

διὰ τοῦτο παρακεκλήμεθα. Ἐπὶ δὲ τῇ παρακλήσει ⸀ἡμῶν περισσοτέρως μᾶλλον ἐχάρημεν ἐπὶ τῇ χαρᾷ Τίτου, ὅτι ἀναπέπαυται τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ πάντων ὑμῶν·

Phonetic (Greek): hoti ei ti aytῷ hyper hymon kekaychemai, oy katῃschynthen, allʼ hos panta en aletheiᾳ elalesamen hymin, ohytos kai he kaychesis hemon ⸀he epi Titou aletheia egenethe.

Edified Edition (EDE)For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I am not ashamed; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting to Titus was found true.

ὅτι εἴ τι αὐτῷ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν κεκαύχημαι, οὐ κατῃσχύνθην, ἀλλʼ ὡς πάντα ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐλαλήσαμεν ὑμῖν, οὕτως καὶ ἡ καύχησις ἡμῶν ⸀ἡ ἐπὶ Τίτου ἀλήθεια ἐγενήθη.

Phonetic (Greek): kai ta splanchna aytoy perissoteros eis hymas estin anamimnῃskomenou ten panton hymon hypakoen, hos meta phobou kai tromou edexasthe ayton.

Edified Edition (EDE)And his affection for you is far greater as he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.

καὶ τὰ σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ περισσοτέρως εἰς ὑμᾶς ἐστιν ἀναμιμνῃσκομένου τὴν πάντων ὑμῶν ὑπακοήν, ὡς μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου ἐδέξασθε αὐτόν.

Phonetic (Greek): chairo hoti en panti tharro en hymin.

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore I rejoice that I have confidence in you in everything.

χαίρω ὅτι ἐν παντὶ θαρρῶ ἐν ὑμῖν.
