2 Corinthians 7

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Therefore, having these promises, most beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sanctification 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 Consider us. We have injured no one; we have corrupted no one; we have defrauded no one.	2 Δεχθητε ημας εν υμιν? ουδενα ηδικησαμεν, ουδενα εφθειραμεν, εις ουδενα εσταθημεν πλεονεκται.
3 I am not saying this to your condemnation. For we have told you before that you are in our hearts: to die together and to live together.	3 Δεν λεγω τουτο προς κατακρισιν σας? διοτι προειπον οτι εισθε εν ταις καρδιαις ημων, ωστε να συναποθανωμεν και να συζωμεν.
4 Great is my confidence in you. Great is my glorying over you. I have been filled with consolation. I have a superabundant joy throughout all our tribulation.	4 Πολλην παρρησιαν εχω προς εσας, πολλην καυχησιν εχω δια σας? ειμαι πληρης παρηγοριας, εχω υπερπερισσευουσαν την χαραν εις ολην την θλιψιν ημων.
5 Then, too, when we had arrived in Macedonia, our flesh had no rest. Instead, we suffered every tribulation: exterior conflicts, interior 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 consoles the humble, consoled 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 consolation with which he was consoled among you. For he brought to us your desire, your weeping, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the 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 though I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent. And if I did repent, but only for a time, having realized that the same epistle made you sorrowful,	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 now I am glad: not because you were sorrowful, but because you were sorrowful unto repentance. For you became sorrowful for God, so that you might not suffer any harm from 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 the sorrow that is according to God accomplishes a repentance which is steadfast unto salvation. But the sorrow that is of the world accomplishes death.	10 Διοτι η κατα Θεον λυπη γεννα μετανοιαν προς σωτηριαν αμεταμελητον? η λυπη ομως του κοσμου γεννα θανατον.
11 So consider this same idea, being sorrowful according to God, and what great solicitude it accomplishes in you: including protection, and indignation, and fear, and desire, and zeal, and vindication. In all things, you have shown yourselves to be uncorrupted by this sorrow.	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 And so, though I wrote to you, it was not because of him who caused the injury, nor because of him who suffered from it, but so as to manifest our solicitude, which we have for you before 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 Therefore, we have been consoled. But in our consolation, we have rejoiced even more abundantly over the joy of Titus, because his spirit was 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 And if I have gloried in anything to him about you, I have not been put to shame. But, just as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our glorying before Titus has been 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 feelings are now more abundant toward you, since he remembers the obedience of you all, and how 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 that in all things I have confidence in you.	16 Χαιρω λοιπον οτι κατα παντα εχω θαρρος εις εσας.
