2Corinthians:7:4-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Great is my boldness of speech toward you ,
great is my glorying of you :
I am filled with comfort ,
I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation .
*
For ,
when we were come into Macedonia ,
our flesh had no rest ,
but we were troubled on every side ;
without were fightings ,
within were fears .
*
Nevertheless God ,
that comforteth those that are cast down ,
comforted us by the coming of Titus ;
*
And not by his coming only ,
but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you ,
when he told us your earnest desire ,
your mourning ,
your fervent mind toward me ;
so that I rejoiced the more .
*
For though I made you sorry with a letter ,
I do not repent ,
though I did repent :
for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry ,
though it were but for a season .
*
Now I rejoice ,
not that ye were made sorry ,
but that ye sorrowed to repentance :
for ye were made sorry after a godly manner ,
that ye might receive damage by us in nothing .
