¹Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

¹Armsad, et meil nüüd on niisugused tõotused, siis puhastagem endid ihu ja vaimu kogu rüvedusest, täiustades oma pühadust Jumala kartuses.

²Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

²Andke meile ruumi oma südames! Me ei ole kellelegi ülekohut teinud, me ei ole kedagi laostanud, me ei ole kedagi petnud.

³I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.

³Ma ei ütle seda teie hukkamõistmiseks, sest ma olen juba enne öelnud, et teie olete meie südames, et me üheskoos sureksime ja üheskoos elaksime.

⁴Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

⁴Mul on rohkelt julgust teie ees, mul on teie üle palju kiitlemist, ma olen täis lohutust, mul on ülikülluses rõõmu igas meie kitsikuses.

⁵For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

⁵Sest tõesti, kui me tulime Makedooniasse, ei olnud meie ihul mingit hõlpu, vaid meid vaevati igati - väljas olid tülid, sees kartused.

⁶Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

⁶Aga Jumal, kes julgustab alandlikke, on meid julgustanud Tiituse tuleku kaudu.

⁷And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith 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.

⁷See ei olnud üksnes tema tulek, vaid ka julgustus, millega teie teda olete julgustanud, nii et ma veel enam rõõmustasin, kui ta meile jutustas teie igatsemisest, teie kurtmisest, teie innukusest minu pärast.

⁸For 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 were but for a season.

⁸Sest kuigi ma teid kirjaga kurvastasin, ei kahetse ma seda. Ja kui ma kahetsesingi - ma näen, et see kiri on teid ikkagi mõneks ajaks kurvastanud -,

⁹Now 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 receive damage by us in nothing.

⁹siis nüüd ma rõõmustan. Ma ei rõõmusta, et teie kurvastasite, vaid et te kurvastasite meeleparanduseks. Te olete ju Jumalale meelepäraselt kurvastanud, nii et meie ei ole teile millegagi kahju teinud.

¹⁰For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

¹⁰Jah, Jumalale meelepärane kurvastus toob meeleparanduse päästeks, mida ei kahetseta, maailma kurvastus toob aga surma.

¹¹For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

¹¹Sest vaadake, millise innukuse on teis tekitanud just see, et te Jumalale meelepäraselt kurvastasite, millise kaitsekõne, millise meelepaha, millise kartuse, millise igatsuse, millise innu, millise karistuse! Teie olete end kõigiti näidanud puhtana selles asjas.

¹²Wherefore, though I wrote unto 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 unto you.

¹²Niisiis, kui ma teile kirjutasin, ei sündinud see selle pärast, kes tegi ülekohut, ega selle pärast, kellele tehti ülekohut, vaid selleks, et teie keskel saaks avalikuks teie hool meie heaks Jumala ees.

¹³Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

¹³Selle tõttu me oleme nüüd julgustatud. Peale oma julgustuse oleme aga veel palju rohkem rõõmustanud Tiituse rõõmu pärast, et ta vaim on leidnud kosutust teie kõikide poolt,

¹⁴For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.

¹⁴ja et ma ei ole jäänud häbisse, kui ma olen teid temale kiitnud, vaid nagu me teile oleme kõike rääkinud tões, nii on ka meie kiitlemine Tiituse ees tõeks läinud.

¹⁵And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

¹⁵Ja tema süda on veel rohkem teile lahti, kui ta meenutab teie kõikide kuulekust, kuidas teie ta vastu võtsite kartuse ja värinaga.

¹⁶I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.

¹⁶Olen rõõmus, et võin kõiges teie peale kindel olla.
