Reading 2 Corinthians chapter 7 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.

Verses 1–10

1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness inGod's fear.

2 Receive us: we have injured no one, we have ruined no one, we have made gain of no one.

3 I do not speak for condemnation, for I have already said that ye are in our hearts, to die together, and live together.

4 Great [is] my boldness towards you, great my exulting in respect of you; I am filled with encouragement; I overabound in joy under all our affliction.

5 For indeed, when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but [we were] afflicted in every way; without combats, within fears.

6 But he who encourages those that are [brought] low, [even]God, encouraged us by the coming of Titus;

7 and not by his coming only, but also through the encouragement with which he was encouraged as to you; relating to us your ardent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I the more rejoiced.

8 For if also I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret [it], if even I have regretted it; for I see that that letter, if even [it were] only for a time, grieved you.

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye have been grieved, but that ye have been grieved to repentance; for ye have been grieved according toGod, that in nothing ye might be injured by us.

10 For grief according toGod works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.
