ACV(i)
3 I speak not for condemnation, for I have said before that ye are in our hearts to die together and to live together.
4 Great is my boldness toward you, great is my pride for you. I have been filled with encouragement. I over-abound with joy in all our affliction.
5 For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had not one relief, but being oppressed in everything: battles outside, fears within.
6 Nevertheless God, who encourages the lowly, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
7 And not only by his presence, but also by the encouragement with which he was encouraged by you, reporting to us your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.
8 Because even though I grieved you in the letter, I am not remorseful (even though I was remorseful), for I perceive that that letter grieved you, even though for an hour.
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were grieved, but that ye were grieved for repentance. For ye were grieved toward God, so that ye might suffer loss from us in nothing.
10 For sorrow toward God works repentance for salvation without regret, but the sorrow of the world works death.
