Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God;

2 yUyam asmAn gRhlIta| asmAbhiH kasyApyanyAyO na kRtaH kO'pi na vanjcitaH|

receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we ruin; no one did we defraud;

3 yuSmAn dOSiNaH karttamahaM vAkyamEtad vadAmIti nahi yuSmAbhiH saha jIvanAya maraNAya vA vayaM yuSmAn svAntaHkaraNai rdhArayAma iti pUrvvaM mayOktaM|

I do not say [it] to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together;

4 yuSmAn prati mama mahEtsAhO jAyatE yuSmAn adhyahaM bahu zlAghE ca tEna sarvvaklEzasamayE'haM sAntvanayA pUrNO harSENa praphullitazca bhavAmi|

great [is] my freedom of speech to you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I hyper-abound with the joy on all our tribulation,

5 asmAsu mAkidaniyAdEzam AgatESvasmAkaM zarIrasya kAcidapi zAnti rnAbhavat kintu sarvvatO bahi rvirOdhEnAntazca bhItyA vayam apIPyAmahi|

for we also, having come to Macedonia, our flesh has had no relaxation, but on every side we are in tribulation: fightings outside, fears within;

6 kintu namrANAM sAntvayitA ya IzvaraH sa tItasyAgamanEnAsmAn asAntvayat|

but He who is comforting the cast-down—God—He comforted us in the coming of Titus;

7 kEvalaM tasyAgamanEna tannahi kintu yuSmattO jAtayA tasya sAntvanayApi, yatO'smAsu yuSmAkaM hArddavilApAsaktatvESvasmAkaM samIpE varNitESu mama mahAnandO jAtaH|

and not only in his coming, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more,

8 ahaM patrENa yuSmAn zOkayuktAn kRtavAn ityasmAd anvatapyE kintvadhunA nAnutapyE| tEna patrENa yUyaM kSaNamAtraM zOkayuktIbhUtA iti mayA dRzyatE|

because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not regret—if even I regretted—for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, made you sorry.

9 ityasmin yuSmAkaM zOkEnAhaM hRSyAmi tannahi kintu manaHparivarttanAya yuSmAkaM zOkO'bhavad ityanEna hRSyAmi yatO'smattO yuSmAkaM kApi hAni ryanna bhavEt tadarthaM yuSmAkam IzvarIyaH zOkO jAtaH|

I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to conversion, for you were made sorry toward God, that you might receive damage from us in nothing;

10 sa IzvarIyaH zOkaH paritrANajanakaM niranutApaM manaHparivarttanaM sAdhayati kintu sAMsArikaH zOkO mRtyuM sAdhayati|

for sorrow toward God works conversion to salvation without regret, and the sorrow of the world works death,

11 pazyata tEnEzvarIyENa zOkEna yuSmAkaM kiM na sAdhitaM? yatnO dOSaprakSAlanam asantuSTatvaM hArddam AsaktatvaM phaladAnanjcaitAni sarvvANi| tasmin karmmaNi yUyaM nirmmalA iti pramANaM sarvvENa prakArENa yuSmAbhi rdattaM|

for behold, this same thing—your being made sorry toward God—how much diligence it works in you! But defense, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in everything you approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

12 yEnAparAddhaM tasya kRtE kiMvA yasyAparAddhaM tasya kRtE mayA patram alEkhi tannahi kintu yuSmAnadhyasmAkaM yatnO yad Izvarasya sAkSAd yuSmatsamIpE prakAzEta tadarthamEva|

If, then, I also wrote to you—not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who suffered wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being revealed to you before God—

13 uktakAraNAd vayaM sAntvanAM prAptAH; tAnjca sAntvanAM vinAvarO mahAhlAdastItasyAhlAdAdasmAbhi rlabdhaH, yatastasyAtmA sarvvai ryuSmAbhistRptaH|

because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more we rejoiced in the joy of Titus, that his spirit has been refreshed from you all;

14 pUrvvaM tasya samIpE'haM yuSmAbhiryad azlAghE tEna nAlajjE kintu vayaM yadvad yuSmAn prati satyabhAvEna sakalam abhASAmahi tadvat tItasya samIpE'smAkaM zlAghanamapi satyaM jAtaM|

because if I have boasted anything to him in your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke to you all things in truth, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,

15 yUyaM kIdRk tasyAjnjA apAlayata bhayakampAbhyAM taM gRhItavantazcaitasya smaraNAd yuSmAsu tasya snEhO bAhulyEna varttatE|

and his yearnings are more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling;

16 yuSmAsvahaM sarvvamAzaMsE, ityasmin mamAhlAdO jAyatE|

I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.
