    3And I wrote this to you so that when I come, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to bring me joy; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

    4For out of much trouble and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love I have more abundantly toward you.

    5But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but in part, that I may not put too much burden on you all.

    6The punishment inflicted by many is sufficient for such a person.

    7So, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with excessive sorrow.

    7And not by his coming only, but by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced even more.

    8For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though it was only for a season.

    9Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you sorrowed to repentance: for you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing.

    10For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world produces death.

    11For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner, what diligence it produced in you, yes, what clearing of yourselves, yes, what indignation, yes, what fear, yes, what vehement desire, yes, what zeal, yes, what vindication! In all things you have proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

    12Therefore, though I wrote to you, I did not do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.

    13Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yes, and exceedingly the more did we rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

    14For if I have boasted anything to him about you, I am not ashamed; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found to be true.
