2 Corinthians 7:10-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

¹¹ For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you; yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge: in all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter.

¹² Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it; but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you

¹³ Before God: therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation, we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

¹⁴ And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth.

¹⁵ And his bowels are more abundantly towards you; remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you have received him.

¹⁶ I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.
