GNT

1 ταύτας οὗν ἔχοντες τὰς ἐπαγγελίας, ἀγαπητοί, καθαρίσωμεν ἑαυτοὺς ἀπὸ παντὸς μολυσμοῦ σαρκὸς καὶ πνεύματος, ἐπιτελοῦντες ἁγιωσύνην ἐν φόβῳ θεοῦ.

2 χωρήσατε ἡμᾶς· οὐδένα ἠδικήσαμεν, οὐδένα ἐφθείραμεν, οὐδένα ἐπλεονεκτήσαμεν.

3 πρὸς κατάκρισιν οὐ λέγω, προείρηκα γὰρ ὅτι ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν ἐστε εἰς τὸ συναποθανεῖν καὶ συζῆν.

4 πολλή μοι παρρησία πρὸς ὑμᾶς, πολλή μοι καύχησις ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν· πεπλήρωμαι τῇ παρακλήσει, ὑπερπερισσεύομαι τῇ χαρᾷ ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ θλίψει ἡμῶν.

5 καὶ γὰρ ἐλθόντων ἡμῶν εἰς μακεδονίαν οὐδεμίαν ἔσχηκεν ἄνεσιν ἡ σὰρξ ἡμῶν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν παντὶ θλιβόμενοι _ ἔξωθεν μάχαι, ἔσωθεν φόβοι.

6 ἀλλ᾽ ὁ παρακαλῶν τοὺς ταπεινοὺς παρεκάλεσεν ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ τίτου·

7 οὐ μόνον δὲ ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τῇ παρακλήσει ᾗ παρεκλήθη ἐφ᾽ ὑμῖν, ἀναγγέλλων ἡμῖν τὴν ὑμῶν ἐπιπόθησιν, τὸν ὑμῶν ὀδυρμόν, τὸν ὑμῶν ζῆλον ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ, ὥστε με μᾶλλον χαρῆναι.

8 ὅτι εἰ καὶ ἐλύπησα ὑμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἐπιστολῇ, οὐ μεταμέλομαι· εἰ καὶ μετεμελόμην βλέπω [γὰρ] ὅτι ἡ ἐπιστολὴ ἐκείνη εἰ καὶ πρὸς ὥραν ἐλύπησεν ὑμᾶς,

9 νῦν χαίρω, οὐχ ὅτι ἐλυπήθητε, ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι ἐλυπήθητε εἰς μετάνοιαν· ἐλυπήθητε γὰρ κατὰ θεόν, ἵνα ἐν μηδενὶ ζημιωθῆτε ἐξ ἡμῶν.

10 ἡ γὰρ κατὰ θεὸν λύπη μετάνοιαν εἰς σωτηρίαν ἀμεταμέλητον ἐργάζεται· ἡ δὲ τοῦ κόσμου λύπη θάνατον κατεργάζεται.

11 ἰδοὺ γὰρ αὐτὸ τοῦτο τὸ κατὰ θεὸν λυπηθῆναι πόσην κατειργάσατο ὑμῖν σπουδήν, ἀλλὰ ἀπολογίαν, ἀλλὰ ἀγανάκτησιν, ἀλλὰ φόβον, ἀλλὰ ἐπιπόθησιν, ἀλλὰ ζῆλον, ἀλλὰ ἐκδίκησιν· ἐν παντὶ συνεστήσατε ἑαυτοὺς ἁγνοὺς εἶναι τῶ πράγματι.

12 ἄρα εἰ καὶ ἔγραψα ὑμῖν, οὐχ ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἀδικήσαντος, οὐδὲ ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἀδικηθέντος, ἀλλ᾽ ἕνεκεν τοῦ φανερωθῆναι τὴν σπουδὴν ὑμῶν τὴν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ.

13 διὰ τοῦτο παρακεκλήμεθα. ἐπὶ δὲ τῇ παρακλήσει ἡμῶν περισσοτέρως μᾶλλον ἐχάρημεν ἐπὶ τῇ χαρᾷ τίτου, ὅτι ἀναπέπαυται τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ πάντων ὑμῶν·

14 ὅτι εἴ τι αὐτῶ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν κεκαύχημαι οὐ κατῃσχύνθην, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς πάντα ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐλαλήσαμεν ὑμῖν, οὕτως καὶ ἡ καύχησις ἡμῶν ἡ ἐπὶ τίτου ἀλήθεια ἐγενήθη.

15 καὶ τὰ σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ περισσοτέρως εἰς ὑμᾶς ἐστιν ἀναμιμνῃσκομένου τὴν πάντων ὑμῶν ὑπακοήν, ὡς μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου ἐδέξασθε αὐτόν.

16 χαίρω ὅτι ἐν παντὶ θαρρῶ ἐν ὑμῖν.

1  Having²¹⁹² therefore³⁷⁶⁷ these⁵⁰²⁵ promises,¹⁸⁶⁰ dearly beloved,²⁷ let us cleanse²⁵¹¹ ourselves¹⁴³⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ all³⁹⁵⁶ filthiness³⁴³⁶ of the flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ and²⁵³² spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ perfecting²⁰⁰⁵ holiness⁴² in¹⁷²² the fear⁵⁴⁰¹ of God.²³¹⁶

2  Receive⁵⁵⁶² us;²²⁴⁸ we have wronged⁹¹ no man,³⁷⁶² we have corrupted⁵³⁵¹ no man,³⁷⁶² we have defrauded⁴¹²² no man.³⁷⁶²

3  I speak³⁰⁰⁴ not³⁷⁵⁶ this to⁴³¹⁴ condemn²⁶³³ you: for¹⁰⁶³ I have said before,⁴²⁸⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ ye are²⁰⁷⁵ in¹⁷²² our²²⁵⁷ hearts²⁵⁸⁸ to die⁴⁸⁸⁰ and²⁵³² live with⁴⁸⁰⁰ you.

4  Great⁴¹⁸³ is my³⁴²⁷ boldness of speech³⁹⁵⁴ toward⁴³¹⁴ you,⁵²⁰⁹ great⁴¹⁸³ is my³⁴²⁷ glorying²⁷⁴⁶ of⁵²²⁸ you:⁵²¹⁶ I am filled⁴¹³⁷ with comfort,³⁸⁷⁴ I am exceeding⁵²⁴⁸ joyful⁵⁴⁷⁹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ our²²⁵⁷ tribulation.²³⁴⁷

5  For,¹⁰⁶³ when²⁵³² we²²⁵⁷ were come²⁰⁶⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ Macedonia,³¹⁰⁹ our²²⁵⁷ flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ had²¹⁹² no³⁷⁶² rest,⁴²⁵ but²³⁵ we were troubled²³⁴⁶ on¹⁷²² every side;³⁹⁵⁶ without¹⁸⁵⁵ were fightings,³¹⁶³ within²⁰⁸¹ were fears.⁵⁴⁰¹

6  Nevertheless²³⁵ God,²³¹⁶ that comforteth³⁸⁷⁰ those that are cast down,⁵⁰¹¹ comforted³⁸⁷⁰ us²²⁴⁸ by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ coming³⁹⁵² of Titus;⁵¹⁰³

7  And¹¹⁶¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ by¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁶ coming³⁹⁵² only,³⁴⁴⁰ but^{235 2532} by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ consolation³⁸⁷⁴ wherewith³⁷³⁹ he was comforted³⁸⁷⁰ in¹⁹⁰⁹ you,⁵²¹³ when he told³¹² us²²⁵⁴ your⁵²¹⁶ earnest desire,¹⁹⁷² your⁵²¹⁶ mourning,³⁶⁰² your⁵²¹⁶ fervent mind²²⁰⁵ toward⁵²²⁸ me;¹⁷⁰⁰ so that⁵⁶²⁰ I³¹⁶⁵ rejoiced⁵⁴⁶³ the more.³¹²³

8  For³⁷⁵⁴ though¹⁴⁹⁹ I made you sorry^{3076 5209} with¹⁷²² a letter,¹⁹⁹² I do not³⁷⁵⁶ repent,³³³⁸ though¹⁴⁹⁹ I did repent:³³³⁸ for¹⁰⁶³ I perceive⁹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ same¹⁵⁶⁵ epistle¹⁹⁹² hath made you sorry,^{3076 5209} though¹⁴⁹⁹ it were but for⁴³¹⁴ a season.⁵⁶¹⁰

9  Now³⁵⁶⁸ I rejoice,⁵⁴⁶³ not³⁷⁵⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ ye were made sorry,³⁰⁷⁶ but²³⁵ that³⁷⁵⁴ ye sorrowed³⁰⁷⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ repentance:³³⁴¹ for¹⁰⁶³ ye were made sorry³⁰⁷⁶ after a godly manner,^{2596 2316} that²⁴⁴³ ye might receive damage²²¹⁰ by¹⁵³⁷ us²²⁵⁷ in¹⁷²² nothing.³³⁶⁷

10  For¹⁰⁶³ godly^{2596 2316} sorrow³⁰⁷⁷ worketh²⁷¹⁶ repentance³³⁴¹ to¹⁵¹⁹ salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ not to be repented of:²⁷⁸ but¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sorrow³⁰⁷⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ world²⁸⁸⁹ worketh²⁷¹⁶ death.²²⁸⁸

11  For¹⁰⁶³ behold²⁴⁰⁰ this⁵¹²⁴ selfsame thing,⁸⁴⁶ that ye⁵²⁰⁹ sorrowed³⁰⁷⁶ after a godly sort,^{2596 2316} what⁴²¹⁴ carefulness⁴⁷¹⁰ it wrought²⁷¹⁶ in you,⁵²¹³ yea,²³⁵ what clearing of yourselves,⁶²⁷ yea,²³⁵ what indignation,²⁴ yea,²³⁵ what fear,⁵⁴⁰¹ yea,²³⁵ what vehement desire,¹⁹⁷² yea,²³⁵ what zeal,²²⁰⁵ yea,²³⁵ what revenge!¹⁵⁵⁷ In¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ things ye have approved⁴⁹²¹ yourselves¹⁴³⁸ to be¹⁵¹¹ clear⁵³ in¹⁷²² this matter.⁴²²⁹

12  Wherefore,⁶⁸⁶ though¹⁴⁹⁹ I wrote¹¹²⁵ unto you,⁵²¹³ I did it not³⁷⁵⁶ for his cause¹⁷⁵² that had done the wrong,⁹¹ nor³⁷⁶¹ for his cause¹⁷⁵² that suffered wrong,⁹¹ but²³⁵ that our²²⁵⁷ care⁴⁷¹⁰ for⁵²²⁸ you⁵²¹⁶ in the sight¹⁷⁹⁹ of God²³¹⁶ might appear⁵³¹⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ you.⁵²⁰⁹

13  Therefore^{1223 5124} we were comforted³⁸⁷⁰ in¹⁹⁰⁹ your⁵²¹⁶ comfort:³⁸⁷⁴ yea, and¹¹⁶¹ exceedingly⁴⁰⁵⁶ the more³¹²³ joyed⁵⁴⁶³ we for¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ joy⁵⁴⁷⁹ of Titus,⁵¹⁰³ because³⁷⁵⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ was refreshed³⁷³ by⁵⁷⁵ you⁵²¹⁶ all.³⁹⁵⁶

14  For³⁷⁵⁴ if I have boasted any thing^{1536 2744} to him⁸⁴⁶ of⁵²²⁸ you,⁵²¹⁶ I am not ashamed;^{2617 3756} but²³⁵ as⁵⁶¹³ we spake²⁹⁸⁰ all things³⁹⁵⁶ to you⁵²¹³ in¹⁷²² truth,²²⁵ even²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ our²²⁵⁷ boasting,²⁷⁴⁶ which³⁵⁸⁸ I made before¹⁹⁰⁹ Titus,⁵¹⁰³ is found¹⁰⁹⁶ a truth.²²⁵

15  And²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ inward affection⁴⁶⁹⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ more abundant⁴⁰⁵⁶ toward¹⁵¹⁹ you,⁵²⁰⁹ whilst he remembereth³⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ obedience⁵²¹⁸ of you⁵²¹⁶ all,³⁹⁵⁶ how⁵⁶¹³ with³³²⁶ fear⁵⁴⁰¹ and²⁵³² trembling⁵¹⁵⁶ ye received¹²⁰⁹ him.⁸⁴⁶

16  I rejoice⁵⁴⁶³ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ I have confidence²²⁹² in¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ in¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ things.

Vul

1 Has ergo habentes promissiones, carissimi, mundemus nos ab omni inquinamento carnis et spiritus, perficientes sanctificationem in timore Dei.

2 Capite nos. Neminem læsimus, neminem corrupimus, neminem circumvenimus.

3 Non ad condemnationem vestram dico: prædiximus enim quod in cordibus nostris estis ad commoriendum et ad convivendum.

4 Multa mihi fiducia est apud vos, multa mihi gloriatio pro vobis: repletus sum consolatione; superabundo gaudio in omni tribulatione nostra.

5 Nam et cum venissemus in Macedoniam, nullam requiem habuit caro nostra, sed omnem tribulationem passi sumus: foris pugnæ, intus timores.

6 Sed qui consolatur humiles, consolatus est nos Deus in adventu Titi.

7 Non solum autem in adventu ejus, sed etiam in consolatione, qua consolatus est in vobis, referens nobis vestrum desiderium, vestrum fletum, vestram æmulationem pro me, ita ut magis gauderem.

8 Quoniam etsi contristavi vos in epistola, non me pœnitet: etsi pœniteret, videns quod epistola illa (etsi ad horam) vos contristavit,

9 nunc gaudeo: non quia contristati estis, sed quia contristati estis ad pœnitentiam. Contristati enim estis ad Deum, ut in nullo detrimentum patiamini ex nobis.

10 Quæ enim secundum Deum tristitia est, pœnitentiam in salutem stabilem operatur: sæculi autem tristitia mortem operatur.

11 Ecce enim hoc ipsum, secundum Deum contristari vos, quantam in vobis operatur sollicitudinem: sed defensionem, sed indignationem, sed timorem, sed desiderium, sed æmulationem, sed vindictam: in omnibus exhibuistis vos incontaminatos esse negotio.

12 Igitur, etsi scripsi vobis, non propter eum qui fecit injuriam, nec propter eum qui passus est: sed ad manifestandam sollicitudinem nostram, quam habemus pro vobis

13 coram Deo: ideo consolati sumus. In consolatione autem nostra, abundantius magis gavisi sumus super gaudio Titi, quia refectus est spiritus ejus ab omnibus vobis:

14 et si quid apud illum de vobis gloriatus sum, non sum confusus: sed sicut omnia vobis in veritate locuti sumus, ita et gloriatio nostra, quæ fuit ad Titum, veritas facta est,

15 et viscera ejus abundantius in vobis sunt, reminiscentis omnium vestrum obedientiam: quomodo cum timore et tremore excepistis illum.

16 Gaudeo quod in omnibus confido in vobis.
