2 Corinthians 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, making holiness perfect in the fear of God.	1 Εχοντες λοιπον, αγαπητοι, ταυτας τας επαγγελιας, ας καθαρισωμεν εαυτους απο παντος μολυσμου σαρκος και πνευματος, εκπληρουντες αγιωσυνην εν φοβω Θεου.
2 Make room for us; we have not wronged anyone, or ruined anyone, or taken advantage of anyone.	2 Δεχθητε ημας εν υμιν? ουδενα ηδικησαμεν, ουδενα εφθειραμεν, εις ουδενα εσταθημεν πλεονεκται.
3 I do not say this in condemnation, for I have already said that you are in our hearts, that we may die together and live together.	3 Δεν λεγω τουτο προς κατακρισιν σας? διοτι προειπον οτι εισθε εν ταις καρδιαις ημων, ωστε να συναποθανωμεν και να συζωμεν.
4 I have great confidence in you, I have great pride in you; I am filled with encouragement, I am overflowing with joy all the more because of all our affliction.	4 Πολλην παρρησιαν εχω προς εσας, πολλην καυχησιν εχω δια σας? ειμαι πληρης παρηγοριας, εχω υπερπερισσευουσαν την χαραν εις ολην την θλιψιν ημων.
5 For even when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted in every way--external conflicts, internal fears.	5 Διοτι αφου ηλθομεν εις Μακεδονιαν ουδεμιαν ανεσιν ελαβεν η σαρξ ημων, αλλα κατα παντα εθλιβομεθα? εξωθεν μαχαι, εσωθεν φοβοι.
6 But God, who encourages the downcast, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus,	6 Αλλ' ο Θεος ο παρηγορων τους ταπεινους παρηγορησεν ημας δια της παρουσιας του Τιτου?
7 and not only by his arrival but also by the encouragement with which he was encouraged in regard to you, as he told us of your yearning, your lament, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.	7 και ουχι μονον δια της παρουσιας αυτου, αλλα και δια της παρηγοριας, την οποιαν παρηγορηθη δια σας, αναγγελλων προς ημας τον μεγαν ποθον σας, τον οδυρμον σας, τον ζηλον σας υπερ εμου, ωστε περισσοτερον εχαρην,
8 For even if I saddened you by my letter, I do not regret it; and if I did regret it ((for) I see that that letter saddened you, if only for a while),	8 διοτι εαν και σας ελυπησα δια της επιστολης, δεν μετανοω, αν και μετενοουν? επειδη βλεπω οτι η επιστολη εκεινη, αν και προς ωραν, σας ελυπησε.
9 I rejoice now, not because you were saddened, but because you were saddened into repentance; for you were saddened in a godly way, so that you did not suffer loss in anything because of us.	9 Τωρα χαιρω, ουχι οτι ελυπηθητε, αλλ' οτι ελυπηθητε προς μετανοιαν? διοτι ελυπηθητε κατα Θεον, δια να μη ζημιωθητε εξ ημων εις ουδεν.
10 For godly sorrow produces a salutary repentance without regret, but worldly sorrow produces death.	10 Διοτι η κατα Θεον λυπη γεννα μετανοιαν προς σωτηριαν αμεταμελητον? η λυπη ομως του κοσμου γεννα θανατον.
11 For behold what earnestness this godly sorrow has produced for you, as well as readiness for a defense, and indignation, and fear, and yearning, and zeal, and punishment. In every way you have shown yourselves to be innocent in the matter.	11 Διοτι ιδου, αυτο τουτο, το οτι ελυπηθητε κατα Θεον, ποσην σπουδην εγεννησεν εις εσας, αλλα απολογιαν, αλλα αγανακτησιν, αλλα φοβον, αλλα ποθον, αλλα ζηλον, αλλ' εκδικησιν. Κατα παντα απεδειξατε εαυτους οτι εισθε καθαροι εις τουτο το πραγμα.
12 So then even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong, or on account of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your concern for us might be made plain to you in the sight of God.	12 Λοιπον, αν και σας εγραψα, δεν εκαμον τουτο δια τον αδικησαντα, ουδε δια τον αδικηθεντα, αλλα δια να φανερωθη προς εσας η σπουδη ημων, την οποιαν εχομεν δια σας ενωπιον του Θεου.
13 For this reason we are encouraged. And besides our encouragement, we rejoice even more because of the joy of Titus, since his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.	13 Δια τουτο παρηγορηθημεν δια την παρηγοριαν σας, και ετι περισσοτερον εχαρημεν δια την χαραν του Τιτου, οτι ανεπαυθη το πνευμα αυτου παρα παντων υμων?
14 For if I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame. No, just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting before Titus proved to be the truth.	14 διοτι εαν εκαυχηθην τι προς αυτον δια σας, δεν κατησχυνθην, αλλα καθως σας ελαλησαμεν παντα εν αληθεια, ουτω και η καυχησις ημων η προς τον Τιτον εγεινεν αληθεια.
15 And his heart goes out to you all the more, as he remembers the obedience of all of you, when you received him with fear and trembling.	15 Και η αγαπη αυτου αυξανει περισσοτερον προς εσας, οταν ενθυμηται την υπακοην παντων υμων, πως μετα φοβου και τρομου εδεχθητε αυτον.
16 I rejoice, because I have confidence in you in every respect.	16 Χαιρω λοιπον οτι κατα παντα εχω θαρρος εις εσας.
