WEB·2 Corinthians 7

¹Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

KJVHaving^G2192^(G5723) therefore^G3767 these^G5025 promises^G1860, dearly beloved^G27, let us cleanse^G2511^(G5661) ourselves^G1438 from^G575 all^G3956 filthiness^G3436 of the flesh^G4561 and^G2532 spirit^G4151, perfecting^G2005^(G5723) holiness^G42 in^G1722 the fear^G5401 of God^G2316.

² Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.

KJVReceive^G5562^(G5657) us^G2248; we have wronged^G91^(G5656) no man^G3762, we have corrupted^G5351^(G5656) no man^G3762, we have defrauded^G4122^(G5656) no man^G3762.

³ I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.

KJVI speak^G3004^(G5719) not^G3756 this to^G4314 condemn^G2633 you: for^G1063 I have said before^G4280^(G5758), that^G3754 ye are^G2075^(G5748) in^G1722 our^G2257 hearts^G2588 to^G1519 die^G4880^(G5629) and^G2532 live with^G4800^(G5721) you.

⁴ Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

KJVGreat^G4183 is my^G3427 boldness of speech^G3954 toward^G4314 you^G5209, great^G4183 is my^G3427 glorying^G2746 of^G5228 you^G5216: I am filled^G4137^(G5769) with comfort^G3874, I am exceeding^G5248^(G5731) joyful^G5479 in^G1909 all^G3956 our^G2257 tribulation^G2347.

⁵ For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.

KJVFor^G1063^G2532, when we^G2257 were come^G2064^(G5631) into^G1519 Macedonia^G3109, our^G2257 flesh^G4561 had^G2192^(G5758) no^G3762 rest^G425, but^G235 we were troubled^G2346^(G5746) on^G1722 every side^G3956; without^G1855 were fightings^G3163, within^G2081 were fears^G5401.

⁶ Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

KJVNevertheless^G235 God^G2316, that comforteth^G3870^(G5723) those that are cast down^G5011, comforted^G3870^(G5656) us^G2248 by^G1722 the coming^G3952 of Titus^G5103;

⁷ and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

KJVAnd^G1161 not^G3756 by^G1722 his^G846 coming^G3952 only^G3440, but^G235^G2532 by^G1722 the consolation^G3874 wherewith^G3739 he was comforted^G3870^(G5681) in^G1909 you^G5213, when he told^G312^(G5723) us^G2254 your^G5216 earnest desire^G1972, your^G5216 mourning^G3602, your^G5216 fervent mind^G2205 toward^G5228 me^G1700; so^G5620 that I^G3165 rejoiced^G5463^(G5646) the more^G3123.

⁸ For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.

KJVFor^G3754 though^G1499 I made^G3076 you^G5209 sorry^G3076^(G5656) with^G1722 a letter^G1992, I do^G3338 not^G3756 repent^G3338^(G5736), though^G1499 I did repent^G3338^(G5711): for^G1063 I perceive^G991^(G5719) that^G3754 the same^G1565 epistle^G1992 hath made^G3076 you^G5209 sorry^G3076^(G5656), though it were but^G1499 for^G4314 a season^G5610.

⁹ I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.

KJVNow^G3568 I rejoice^G5463^(G5719), not^G3756 that^G3754 ye were made sorry^G3076^(G5681), but^G235 that^G3754 ye sorrowed^G3076^(G5681) to^G1519 repentance^G3341: for^G1063 ye were made sorry^G3076^(G5681) after^G2596 a godly manner^G2316, that^G2443 ye might receive damage^G2210^(G5686) by^G1537 us^G2257 in^G1722 nothing^G3367.

¹⁰ For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

KJVFor^G1063 godly^G2316^G2596 sorrow^G3077 worketh^G2716^(G5736) repentance^G3341 to^G1519 salvation^G4991 not to be repented of^G278: but^G1161 the sorrow^G3077 of the world^G2889 worketh^G2716^(G5736) death^G2288.

¹¹ For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

KJVFor^G1063 behold^G2400^(G5628) this^G5124 selfsame thing^G846, that^G5209 ye sorrowed^G3076^(G5683) after^G2596 a godly sort^G2316, what^G4214 carefulness^G4710 it wrought^G2716^(G5662) in you^G5213, yea^G235, what clearing of yourselves^G627, yea^G235, what indignation^G24, yea^G235, what fear^G5401, yea^G235, what vehement desire^G1972, yea^G235, what zeal^G2205, yea^G235, what revenge^G1557! In^G1722 all^G3956 things ye have approved^G4921^(G5656) yourselves^G1438 to be^G1511^(G5750) clear^G53 in^G1722 this matter^G4229.

¹² So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.

KJVWherefore^G686, though^G1499 I wrote^G1125^(G5656) unto you^G5213, I did it not^G3756 for his cause^G1752 that had done the wrong^G91^(G5660), nor^G3761 for his cause^G1752 that suffered wrong^G91^(G5685), but^G235 that^G1752 our^G2257 care^G4710 for^G5228 you^G5216 in the sight^G1799 of God^G2316 might appear^G5319^(G5683) unto^G4314 you^G5209.

¹³ Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

KJVTherefore^G1223^G5124 we were comforted^G3870^(G5769) in^G1909 your^G5216 comfort^G3874: yea, and^G1161 exceedingly^G4056 the more^G3123 joyed we^G5463^(G5644) for^G1909 the joy^G5479 of Titus^G5103, because^G3754 his^G846 spirit^G4151 was refreshed^G373^(G5769) by^G575 you^G5216 all^G3956.

¹⁴ For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

KJVFor^G3754 if I have boasted^G2744^(G5766) any thing^G1536 to him^G846 of^G5228 you^G5216, I am^G2617 not^G3756 ashamed^G2617^(G5681); but^G235 as^G5613 we spake^G2980^(G5656) all things^G3956 to you^G5213 in^G1722 truth^G225, even^G2532 so^G3779 our^G2257 boasting^G2746, which^G3588 I made before^G1909 Titus^G5103, is found^G1096^(G5675) a truth^G225.

¹⁵ His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.

KJVAnd^G2532 his^G846 inward affection^G4698 is^G2076^(G5748) more abundant^G4056 toward^G1519 you^G5209, whilst he remembereth^G363^(G5734) the obedience^G5218 of you^G5216 all^G3956, how^G5613 with^G3326 fear^G5401 and^G2532 trembling^G5156 ye received^G1209^(G5662) him^G846.

¹⁶ I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.

KJVI rejoice^G5463^(G5719) therefore that^G3754 I have confidence^G2292^(G5719) in^G1722 you^G5213 in^G1722 all^G3956 things.

WEB·2 Corinthians 6

¹Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain.

KJVWe^G3870 then^G1161, as workers together^G4903^(G5723) with him, beseech^G3870^(G5719) you also^G2532 that ye^G5209 receive^G1209^(G5664) not^G3361 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 in^G1519 vain^G2756.

² For he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.

KJV(For^G1063 he saith^G3004^(G5719), I have heard^G1873^(G5656) thee^G4675 in a time^G2540 accepted^G1184, and^G2532 in^G1722 the day^G2250 of salvation^G4991 have I succoured^G997^(G5656) thee^G4671: behold^G2400^(G5628), now^G3568 is the accepted^G2144 time^G2540; behold^G2400^(G5628), now^G3568 is the day^G2250 of salvation^G4991.)

³ We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

KJVGiving^G1325^(G5723) no^G3367 offence^G4349 in^G1722 any thing^G3367, that^G3363 the ministry^G1248 be^G3469 not^G3363 blamed^G3469^(G5686):

⁴ but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

KJVBut^G235 in^G1722 all^G3956 things approving^G4921^(G5723) ourselves^G1438 as^G5613 the ministers^G1249 of God^G2316, in^G1722 much^G4183 patience^G5281, in^G1722 afflictions^G2347, in^G1722 necessities^G318, in^G1722 distresses^G4730,

⁵ in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,

KJVIn^G1722 stripes^G4127, in^G1722 imprisonments^G5438, in^G1722 tumults^G181, in^G1722 labours^G2873, in^G1722 watchings^G70, in^G1722 fastings^G3521;

⁶ in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,

KJVBy^G1722 pureness^G54, by^G1722 knowledge^G1108, by^G1722 longsuffering^G3115, by^G1722 kindness^G5544, by^G1722 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, by^G1722 love^G26 unfeigned^G505,

⁷ in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

KJVBy^G1722 the word^G3056 of truth^G225, by^G1722 the power^G1411 of God^G2316, by^G1223 the armour^G3696 of righteousness^G1343 on the right hand^G1188 and^G2532 on the left^G710,

⁸ by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true,

KJVBy^G1223 honour^G1391 and^G2532 dishonour^G819, by^G1223 evil report^G1426 and^G2532 good report^G2162: as^G5613 deceivers^G4108, and^G2532 yet true^G227;

⁹ as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed,

KJVAs^G5613 unknown^G50^(G5746), and^G2532 yet well known^G1921^(G5746); as^G5613 dying^G599^(G5723), and^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), we live^G2198^(G5719); as^G5613 chastened^G3811^(G5746), and^G2532 not^G3361 killed^G2289^(G5746);

¹⁰ as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

KJVAs^G5613 sorrowful^G3076^(G5746), yet^G1161 alway^G104 rejoicing^G5463^(G5723); as^G5613 poor^G4434, yet^G1161 making^G4148 many^G4183 rich^G4148^(G5723); as^G5613 having^G2192^(G5723) nothing^G3367, and^G2532 yet possessing^G2722^(G5723) all things^G3956.

¹¹ Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.

KJVO ye Corinthians^G2881, our^G2257 mouth^G4750 is open^G455^(G5754) unto^G4314 you^G5209, our^G2257 heart^G2588 is enlarged^G4115^(G5769).

¹² You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

KJVYe are^G4729 not^G3756 straitened^G4729^(G5743) in^G1722 us^G2254, but^G1161 ye are straitened^G4729^(G5743) in^G1722 your own^G5216 bowels^G4698.

¹³ Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.

KJVNow^G1161 for a recompence^G489 in the same^G846,(I speak^G3004^(G5719) as^G5613 unto my children^G5043,) be^G4115 ye^G5210 also^G2532 enlarged^G4115^(G5682).

¹⁴ Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

KJVBe ye^G1096^(G5737) not^G3361 unequally yoked together^G2086^(G5723) with unbelievers^G571: for^G1063 what^G5101 fellowship^G3352 hath righteousness^G1343 with^G2532 unrighteousness^G458? and^G1161 what^G5101 communion^G2842 hath light^G5457 with^G4314 darkness^G4655?

¹⁵ What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?

KJVAnd^G1161 what^G5101 concord^G4857 hath Christ^G5547 with^G4314 Belial^G955? or^G2228 what^G5101 part^G3310 hath he that believeth^G4103 with^G3326 an infidel^G571?

¹⁶ What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

KJVAnd^G1161 what^G5101 agreement^G4783 hath the temple^G3485 of God^G2316 with^G3326 idols^G1497? for^G1063 ye^G5210 are^G2075^(G5748) the temple^G3485 of the living^G2198^(G5723) God^G2316; as^G2531 God^G2316 hath said^G2036^(G5627),^G3754 I will dwell^G1774^(G5692) in^G1722 them^G846, and^G2532 walk in^G1704^(G5692) them; and^G2532 I will be^G2071^(G5704) their^G846 God^G2316, and^G2532 they^G846 shall be^G2071^(G5704) my^G3427 people^G2992.

¹⁷ Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.

KJVWherefore^G1352 come out^G1831^(G5628) from^G1537 among^G3319 them^G846, and^G2532 be ye separate^G873^(G5682), saith^G3004^(G5719) the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 touch^G680^(G5732) not^G3361 the unclean^G169 thing; and^G2504 I will receive^G1523^(G5695) you^G5209,

¹⁸ I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

KJVAnd^G2532 will be^G2071^(G5704)^G1519 a Father^G3962 unto you^G5213, and^G2532 ye^G5210 shall be^G2071^(G5704) my^G3427 sons^G5207^G1519 and^G2532 daughters^G2364, saith^G3004^(G5719) the Lord^G2962 Almighty^G3841.
