2 Коринћанима 7
1 Имајући, дакле, оваква обећања, о љубазни! Да очистимо себе од сваке поганштине тела и духа, и да творимо светињу у страху Божијем.
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Примите нас, ником не учинисмо нажао, никога не покварисмо, никога не занесосмо.
Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
3 Не говорим на осуђење, јер пре рекох да сте у срцима нашим, да бих с вама и умро и живео.
I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
4 Врло слободно говорим к вама, много се хвалим вама, напунио сам се утехе, изобилан сам радошћу поред свих брига наших.
Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying concerning you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
5 Јер кад дођосмо у Македонију, никакав мир немаше тело наше, него у свему беше у невољи: споља борбе, изнутра страх.
For, when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
6 Али Бог, који теши понижене, утеши нас доласком Титовим.
Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
7 А не само доласком његовим, него и утехом којом се он утеши за вас казујући вашу жељу, ваше плакање, ваше страдање за мене, тако да се још већма обрадовах.
And not by his coming only, but by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
8 Јер ако сам вас и ражалио посланицом, не кајем се, ако се и бејах раскајао: јер видим да она посланица, ако и за мало, ражали вас.
For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it was but for a season.
9 Али се сад радујем, не што бисте жалосни, него што се ожалостисте на покајање: јер се ожалостисте по Богу, да од нас ни у чему не штетујете.
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might suffer loss through us in nothing.
10 Јер жалост која је по Богу доноси за спасење покајање, за које се никада не каје; а жалост овог света смрт доноси.
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 Јер, гле, ово само што се по Богу ожалостисте, колико учини старање међу вама? Какво правдање, какву неповољност, какав страх, какву жељу, какву ревност, какву освету? У свему показасте се да сте чисти у делу.
For behold this very same thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what diligence it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what avenging of wrong! In all things ye have proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
12 Јер ако вам и писах, не овог ради који је скривио, нити оног ради коме је криво учињено, него да се покаже међу вама старање наше за вас пред Богом.
Therefore, though I wrote to you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.
13 Зато се утешисмо утехом вашом; а још се већма обрадовасмо радости Титовој, јер ви сви умиристе дух његов.
Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: and exceedingly the more we rejoiced for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
14 Јер што сам му се за вас похвалио, нисам се посрамио; него како је све истина што говорисмо вама, тако и похвала наша к Титу истинита би.
For if I have boasted any thing to him concerning 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.
15 И срце је његово пуно љубави к вама кад се опомиње послушања свих вас, како сте га са страхом и дрхтањем примили.
And his affection is more abundant toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
16 Радујем се, дакле, што се у свему смем ослонити на вас.
I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
