5For when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears within.
“For even when we came into Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn, fighting without and fear within.”
“For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, and inside were fears.”

6But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,
“Nevertheless, God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus.”
“But God who comforts the depressed comforted us by the coming of Titus.”

7and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.
“And 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.”
“and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you. As he reported to us, your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.”

8Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it, I now see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time.
“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 were but for a season.”
“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 were but for a season.”
“For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while.”

9And now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us.
“Now I rejoice. Not that ye were made sorry. But that ye sorrow to repentance. For ye were made sorry after a godly manner. That ye might receive damage by us in nothing.”
“I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance. For you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us.”

10Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation, not to be repented of, but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of. But the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
“for godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation, not to be repented of, but the sorrow of the world worketh death,”

11Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

12So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong or the one who was harmed, but rather that your earnestness on our behalf would be made clear to you in the sight of God.
“wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that had suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.”
“so although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the offender, nor for the sake of the one offended. But that your earnestness on our behalf might be made known to you in the sight of God”
“So he says although i wrote to you it was not for the sake of the offender nor for the sake of the one offended. But that your earnestness on our behalf might be made known to you in the sight of god.”
13On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.
“Therefore, we were comforted in your comfort. Yes, and exceedingly the more joyed for the joy of Titus because his spirit was refreshed by you all.”
14Indeed, I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well.
