Nevertheless G235 God, G2316 that comforts G3870 those G3588 that are cast G5011 down, G5011 comforted G3870 us by the coming G3952 of Titus; G5103

And not by his coming G3952 only, G3440 but by the consolation G3874 with which G3739 he was comforted G3870 in you, when he told G312 us your G5216 earnest G1972 desire, G1972 your G5216 mourning, G3602 your G5216 fervent G2205 mind G3563 toward G5228 me; so G5620 that I rejoiced G5463 the more. G3123

For godly G2596 G2316 sorrow G3077 works G2716 repentance G3341 to salvation G4991 not to be repented G278 of: but the sorrow G3077 of the world G2889 works G2716 death. G2288

Sorrow H3708 is better H2896 than laughter: H7814 for by the sadness H7455 of the countenance H6440 the heart H3820 is made better. H3190

I have surely heard H8085 Ephraim H669 bemoaning H5110 himself thus; You have chastised H3256 me, and I was chastised, H3256 as a bullock H5695 unaccustomed H3808 H3925 to the yoke: turn H7725 you me, and I shall be turned; H7725 for you are the LORD H3068 my God. H430

Is Ephraim H669 my dear H3357 son? H1121 is he a pleasant H8191 child? H3206 for since H1767 I spoke H1696 against him, I do earnestly remember H2142 him still: H5750 therefore H5921 H3651 my bowels H4578 are troubled H1993 for him; I will surely have mercy H7355 on him, said H5002 the LORD. H3068

And I will pour H8210 on the house H1004 of David, H1732 and on the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 the spirit H7307 of grace H2580 and of supplications: H8469 and they shall look H5027 on me whom H854 H834 they have pierced, H1856 and they shall mourn H5594 for him, as one mourns H5594 for his only H3173 son, and shall be in bitterness H4843 for him, as one that is in bitterness H4843 for his firstborn. H1060

I say G3004 to you, that likewise G3779 joy G5479 shall be in heaven G3772 over G1909 one G1520 sinner G268 that repents, G3340 more than G2228 over G1909 ninety G1768 and nine G1768 just G1342 persons, which G3748 need G2192 G5532 no G3756 repentance. G3341

Likewise, G3779 I say G3004 to you, there is joy G5479 in the presence G1799 of the angels G32 of God G2316 over G1909 one G1520 sinner G268 that repents. G3340

And when he came G2064 to himself, G1438 he said, G2036 How G4214 many G4214 hired G3407 servants G3407 of my father's G3962 have bread G740 enough G4052 and to spare, G4052 and I perish G622 with hunger! G3042

And am G1510 no G3765 more G3765 worthy G514 to be called G2564 your son: G5207 make G4160 me as one G1520 of your hired G3407 servants. G3407

And the son G5207 said G2036 to him, Father, G3962 I have sinned G264 against G1519 heaven, G3772 and in your sight, G1799 and am G1510 no G3765 more G3765 worthy G514 to be called G2564 your son. G5207

And bring G5342 here G5602 the fatted G4618 calf, G3448 and kill G2380 it; and let us eat, G5315 and be merry: G2165

Testifying G1263 both G5037 to the Jews, G2453 and also G2532 to the Greeks, G1672 repentance G3341 toward G1519 God, G2316 and faith G4102 toward G1519 our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

For godly G2596 G2316 sorrow G3077 works G2716 repentance G3341 to salvation G4991 not to be repented G278 of: but the sorrow G3077 of the world G2889 works G2716 death. G2288

For behold G2400 this G5124 selfsame G846 thing, that you sorrowed G3076 after G2596 a godly G2596 G2316 sort, what G4214 carefulness G4710 it worked G2716 in you, yes, G235 what clearing G627 of yourselves, yes, G235 what indignation, G24 yes, G235 what fear, G5401 yes, G235 what vehement G1972 desire, G1972 yes, G235 what zeal, G2205 yes, G235 what revenge! G1557 In all G3956 things you have approved G4921 yourselves G1438 to be clear G53 in this G3588 matter. G4229

For our rejoicing G2746 is this, G3778 the testimony G3142 of our conscience, G4893 that in simplicity G572 and godly G2316 sincerity, G1505 not with fleshly G4559 wisdom, G4678 but by the grace G5485 of God, G2316 we have had our conversation G390 in the world, G2889 and more G4056 abundantly G4056 to you-ward G4314 G5209 .

To the one G3303 we are the smell G3744 of death G2288 to death; G2288 and to the other G3739 the smell G3744 of life G2222 to life. G2222 And who G5101 is sufficient G2425 for these G5023 things?

For though G1437 I should boast G2744 somewhat G5100 more G4055 of our authority, G1849 which G3739 the Lord G2962 has given G1325 us for edification, G3619 and not for your G5216 destruction, G2506 I should not be ashamed: G153

For his letters, G1992 say G5346 they, are weighty G926 and powerful; G2478 but his bodily G4983 presence G3952 is weak, G770 and his speech G3056 contemptible. G1848

For we can G1410 do nothing G3756 G5100 against G2596 the truth, G225 but for the truth. G225

Therefore G1223 G5124 I write G1125 these G5023 things being absent, G548 lest G2443 G3361 being present G3918 I should use G5530 sharpness, G664 according G2596 to the power G1849 which G3739 the Lord G2962 has given G1325 me to edification, G3619 and not to destruction. G2506

And he said, H559 Go, H3212 and tell H559 this H2088 people, H5971 Hear H8085 you indeed, but understand H995 not; and see H7200 you indeed, but perceive H3045 not.

Then said H559 I, Lord, H136 how H5704 long? H5704 And he answered, H559 Until H5704 the cities H5892 be wasted H7582 without H369 inhabitant, H3427 and the houses H1004 without H369 man, H120 and the land H127 be utterly desolate, H8077
