1Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and of spirit, making holiness perfect in the fear of God.[#2 Cor 6.17, 18]
2Make room in your hearts for us; we have wronged no one; we have corrupted no one; we have taken advantage of no one.[#2 Cor 6.12, 13; #7.2 Gk lacks in your hearts]
3I do not say this to condemn you, for I have already said that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.[#2 Cor 6.11, 12]
4I am being completely frank with you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with consolation; I am overjoyed in all our affliction.[#2 Cor 1.4, 14; 3.12]
5For even when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted in every way—disputes without and fears within.[#Deut 32.35; 2 Cor 2.13; 4.8]
6But God, who consoles the downcast, consoled us by the arrival of Titus,[#v 13; 2 Cor 1.3, 4; 2.13]
7and not only by his arrival but also by the consolation with which he was consoled about you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
8For although I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it (for I see that that letter caused you grief, though only briefly),[#7.8 Other ancient witnesses lack for]
9now I rejoice, not because you were grieved but because your grief led to repentance, for you felt a godly grief, so that you were not harmed in any way by us.
10For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly grief produces death.[#Acts 11.18]
11For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves guiltless in the matter.
12So although I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong nor on account of the one who suffered the wrong but in order that your zeal for us might be made known to you before God.[#v 8; 1 Cor 5.1, 2; 2 Cor 2.3, 9]
13In this we have found consolation.[#v 6; 1 Cor 16.18]
In addition to our own consolation, we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his mind has been set at rest by all of you.
14For if I have been somewhat boastful about you to him, I was not put to shame, but just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved true as well.[#vv 4, 6]
15And his heart goes out all the more to you, as he remembers the obedience of all of you and how you welcomed him with fear and trembling.[#2 Cor 2.9; Phil 2.12]
16I rejoice because I have complete confidence in you.[#2 Thess 3.4]
