    9I nowe reioyce, not that ye were sorie, but that ye sorowed to repentance: for ye sorowed godly, so that in nothing ye were hurt by vs.

    10For godly sorowe causeth repentance vnto saluation, not to be repented of: but the worldly sorowe causeth death.

    11For beholde, this thing that ye haue bene godly sory, what great care it hath wrought in you: yea, what clearing of yourselues: yea, what indignation: yea, what feare: yea, howe great desire: yea, what a zeale: yea, what reuenge: in all things ye haue shewed your selues, that ye are pure in this matter.

    12Wherefore, though I wrote vnto you, I did not it for his cause that had done the wrong, neither for his cause that had the iniurie, but that our care toward you in the sight of God might appeare vnto you.

    13Therefore we were comforted, because ye were comforted: but rather we reioyced much more for the ioye of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

    14For if that I haue boasted any thing to him of you, I haue not bene ashamed: but as I haue spoken vnto you all things in trueth, euen so our boasting vnto Titus was true.

    1Bvt I determined thus in my selfe, that I would not come againe to you in heauinesse.

    2For if I make you sorie, who is he then that shoulde make me glad, but ye same which is made sorie by me?

    3And I wrote this same thing vnto you, lest when I came, I should take heauines of them, of whom I ought to reioyce: this confidence haue I in you all, that my ioye is the ioye of you all.

    4For in great affliction, & anguish of heart I wrote vnto you with many teares: not that yee should be made sorie, but that ye might perceiue the loue which I haue, specially vnto you.

    5And if any hath caused sorowe, the same hath not made mee sorie, but partly (lest I should more charge him ) you all.

    6It is sufficient vnto the same man, that hee was rebuked of many.

    7So that nowe contrariwise yee ought rather to forgiue him, and comfort him, lest the same shoulde bee swalowed vp with ouermuch heauinesse.

    8Wherefore, I pray you, that you woulde confirme your loue towards him.

    9For this cause also did I write, that I might knowe the proofe of you, whether yee would be obedient in all things.
