⁵ Not that, of our own selves, sufficient, are we, to reckon anything as of ourselves, but, our sufficiency, is of God; ––

⁶ But, he who encourageth them that are brought low, encouraged us,––even God,––by the presence of Titus.

⁶ But, he who encourageth them that are brought low, encouraged us,––even God,––by the presence of Titus. ⁷ Not, however, by his presence alone, but also by the encouragement wherewith he had been encouraged over you: recounting unto us your earnest desire, your lamentation, your zeal in my behalf. So that I the more rejoiced. ⁸ Because, if I even grieved you by the letter, I do not regret,––though I could even have regretted,––I see that that letter, if even for an hour, did cause you grief.

⁸ Because, if I even grieved you by the letter, I do not regret,––though I could even have regretted,––I see that that letter, if even for an hour, did cause you grief.

⁸ Because, if I even grieved you by the letter, I do not regret,––though I could even have regretted,––I see that that letter, if even for an hour, did cause you grief. ⁹ Now, am I rejoicing,––not that ye were grieved, but that ye were grieved unto repentance; for ye were grieved according to God, in order that, in nothing, should ye receive damage from us. ¹⁰ For, grief according to God, worketh, repentance unto salvation, not to be regretted; although, the grieving of the world, worketh, death. ¹¹ For lo! this very thing––the being caused to grieve, according to God:––what manner of diligence it wrought out in you,––nay! defence,––nay! sore displeasure,––nay! fear,––nay! earnest desire,––nay! jealousy,––nay! avenging. In every way, ye shewed yourselves to be, chaste, in the matter.
¹² Hence, if I even wrote unto you, it was not for the sake of him that did the wrong, [nay] not even for the sake of him that suffered the wrong; but for the sake of your earnestness, which was on our account, being made manifest unto you, before God:––

¹² Hence, if I even wrote unto you, it was not for the sake of him that did the wrong, [nay] not even for the sake of him that suffered the wrong; but for the sake of your earnestness, which was on our account, being made manifest unto you, before God:–– ¹³ For this cause, have we received encouragement. In addition to our encouragement, however, much more abundantly, have we rejoiced over the joy of Titus,––that his spirit hath received refreshment from you all,

¹³ For this cause, have we received encouragement. In addition to our encouragement, however, much more abundantly, have we rejoiced over the joy of Titus,––that his spirit hath received refreshment from you all, ¹⁴ That, if in anything––unto him––in your behalf––I have boasted, I have not been put to shame; but, as, all things, in truth, we told you, so, even our boasting before Titus, turned out to be, truth. ¹⁵ And, his tender affections, are, much more abundantly towards you, when he calleth to mind the obedience, of you all,––how, with fear and trembling, ye gave him welcome.

⁶ To the end we should exhort Titus, in order that, according as he before made a beginning, so, he should also complete unto you this favour also.

¹⁶ Thanks, however, unto God!––who is putting the same earnestness in your behalf in the heart of Titus,

²² Moreover we have set forward, with them, our brother whom we have proved, in many things, ofttimes, earnest,––but, now, much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence [which he hath] towards you. ²³ Whether as regardeth Titus, he is a partner of mine, and, towards you, a fellow–worker. or our brethren, apostles of assemblies, and Christ’s glory. ²⁴ The proof of your love, therefore, and of our boasting in your behalf, shew ye, unto them, in the face of the assemblies.

¹⁵ Thanks be unto God, for his unspeakable bounty!

⁶ And when we hold ourselves, in readiness, to avenge all disobedience, as soon as your obedience shall be fulfilled!

² For I am jealous over you with a jealousy, of God; for I myself betrothed you unto one husband, to present, a chaste virgin, unto the Christ,–– ³ But I fear lest, by any means, as, the serpent, completely deceived Eve, in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the singleness [and the chasteness] which are [due] unto the Christ.

¹³ For, such as these, are false apostles, deceitful workers, transfiguring themselves into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no marvel! for, Satan himself, doth transfigure himself into a messenger of light!

¹⁴ And no marvel! for, Satan himself, doth transfigure himself into a messenger of light! ¹⁵ No great thing, therefore, if, his ministers also, are transfiguring themselves as ministers of righteousness!––whose end, shall be according to their works.

²⁹ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and, I, am not burning?

¹¹ I have become foolish,––ye, compelled me:––I, in fact, ought, by you, to have been commended; for, not a whit, have I come behind the exceeding overmuch apostles,––even if I am nothing:

¹⁵ And, I, most gladly, will spend, and be fully spent, for your souls:––If I, exceedingly, love you, am I, the less, loved?

¹⁸ I exhorted Titus, and sent with him the brother,––Did, Titus, overreach you? Was it not, in the same spirit, we walked? Was it not, in the same steps?

²⁰ For I fear––lest, by any means, when I come, not such as I wish, should I find you, and, I, should be found by you, such as ye do not wish; ––lest, by any means, [I should find] strife, jealousy, outbursts of wrath, factions, railings, whisperings, puffed up pretensions, confusions; –– ²¹ Lest, when I again come, my God should humble me in regard to you,––and I should grieve over many who had before sinned, and not repented of the impurity, and fornication, and wantonness which they had committed.

²¹ Lest, when I again come, my God should humble me in regard to you,––and I should grieve over many who had before sinned, and not repented of the impurity, and fornication, and wantonness which they had committed.

¹⁰ For this cause, these things, while absent, am I writing, that I may not, when present, deal sharply––according to the authority which, the Lord, hath given me, for building up and not for pulling down.

¹ After that, fourteen years later, I, again, went up unto Jerusalem, with Barnabas, taking with me Titus also;

³ But, not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised; ––

¹² Become ye as, I, because, I also, [was] as, ye,––brethren, I entreat you. Not at all, have ye wronged me.

¹⁰ I, am persuaded regarding you, in the Lord––that, for nothing else, ye will have any regard; but, he that is troubling you, shall bear the sentence,––whosoever he may be.

¹³ For, ye, on a footing of freedom, were called, brethren,––only, [turn] not your freedom into an occasion to the flesh, but, by means of your love, be serving one another;

¹ Brethren! if a man should even be overtaken in any fault, ye, the spiritual, be restoring such a one, in a spirit of meekness, looking to thyself, lest, even thou, be put to the test. ² One another’s burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.

¹⁰ Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all,––but, especially, towards the family of the faith.

³² And be ye gracious one to another, tenderly affectionate, in favour forgiving one another––even as, God also, in Christ, hath in favour forgiven you;

² And walk in love––even as, the Christ also, loved you, and delivered himself up in your behalf, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for a fragrance of sweet smell.

²⁰ Giving thanks, always, for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto your God and Father;

¹¹ Put on the complete armour of God, with a view to your having power to stand against the strategies of the adversary; ¹² Because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but, against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world–holders, of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenlies.

¹² So, then, my beloved––even as ye have always obeyed, not [as] in my presence only, but, now, much more, in my absence, with fear and trembling, your own salvation, be working out;

²² But, of the proof of him, be taking note,––that, as child, with father, with me, hath he done service for the glad–message;

²⁷ And, in fact, he was sick, nigh unto death; but, God, had mercy on him,––and, not on him only, but, on me also, lest, sorrow upon sorrow, I should have.

¹⁸ For, many, are walking––of whom I have often been telling you, and, now, even weeping, am telling,––the enemies of the cross of the Christ;

¹⁸ But I have all things in full, and have more than enough, I am filled, having welcomed from Epaphroditus the things that came from you,––a fragrance of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing unto God.

⁶ When it presented itself unto you; even as, in all the world also, it is bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day when ye heard, and came personally to know the favour of God in truth,

²³ If, at least, ye are abiding still in the faith, founded and firm, and not to be moved away from the hope of the glad–message which ye have heard, which hath been proclaimed in all creation which is under heaven,––of which, I Paul, have become minister.

¹⁵ Spoiling the principalities and the authorities, he made of them an open example, celebrating a triumph over them thereby.

¹³ Bearing one with another, and in favour forgiving one another––if any, against any, have a complaint,––according as, the Lord, in favour forgave you, so also ye;

³ Praying, at the same time, for us also,––that, God, would open unto us a door for the word, so that we may speak the sacred secret of the Christ––for the sake of which also I am in bonds,

⁹ For what thanksgiving can we render back, unto God, concerning you, on occasion of all the joy wherewith we rejoice, for your sakes, before our God?––

¹³ But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are falling asleep,––lest ye be sorrowing, even as the rest also, who are without hope;

¹⁰ And with all manner of deceit of unrighteousness, in them who are destroying themselves, because, the love of the truth, they did not welcome, that they might be saved; ––

⁴ We are persuaded, however, in the Lord, as touching you,––that, what things we give in charge, Ye [both] are doing and will do; ––

⁶ Howbeit, we charge you, brethren,––that, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, ye be withdrawing yourselves from every brother––who, in a disorderly way, doth walk, and not according to the instruction which ye received from us.

¹⁴ And, if anyone be not giving ear unto our word through means of this letter, on this one, set a mark––not to be mixing yourselves up with him,––that he may be reproved;

¹⁴ And, if anyone be not giving ear unto our word through means of this letter, on this one, set a mark––not to be mixing yourselves up with him,––that he may be reproved; ¹⁵ And, not as an enemy, be esteeming him, but be admonishing him, as a brother.

¹⁹ Holding faith and a good conscience,––which some, thrusting from them, concerning their faith, have made shipwreck:–– ²⁰ Of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to be defaming.

¹ Howbeit, the Spirit, expressly saith––that, in later seasons, some will revolt from the faith, giving heed unto seducing spirits, and unto teachings of demons–– ² in hypocrisy, speaking falsehood, [of demons] cauterised in their own conscience,–– ³ Forbidding to marry, [commanding] to abstain from foods which, God, created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and personally know the truth;

²⁰ But, them who are sinning, before all, do thou reprove, that, the rest also, may have, fear:––

⁶ The toiling husbandman, ought, first, of the fruits, to partake: ⁷ Think, as to what I am speaking; for the Lord will give thee discernment in all things.
⁸ Keep in mind Jesus Christ––raised from among the dead, of the seed of David,––according to my joyful message: ⁹ In which I am suffering hardship, even unto bonds, as an evil–doer; but, the word of God, is not bound. ¹⁰ For this cause, am I enduring, all things, for the sake of the chosen, in order that, they also, may obtain, the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus along with glory age–abiding. ¹¹ Faithful, the saying––for, If we have died together, we shall also live together, ¹² If we endure, we shall also reign together; If we shall deny, he also, will deny us, ¹³ If we are faithless, he, faithful, abideth,––for, deny himself, he cannot!
¹⁴ Of these things, be putting [them] in remembrance, adjuring [them] before God not to be waging word–battles,––useful, for nothing, occasioning a subversion of them that hearken. ¹⁵ Give diligence, thyself, approved, to present unto God,––a workman not to be put to shame, skillfully handling the word of truth. ¹⁶ But, the profane pratings, shun; for, unto more ungodliness, will they force themselves on; ¹⁷ And, their discourse, as a gangrene, will eat its way; ––of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus, ¹⁸ Men who, concerning the truth, have erred, affirming, a resurrection, already, to have taken place, and are overthrowing the faith, of some.

²⁵ In meekness, bringing under discipline them that oppose themselves, lest at any time God should give them repentance unto a personal knowledge of truth,

³ For there will be a season––when, the healthful teaching, they will not endure, but, according to their own covetings, will, unto themselves, heap up teachers, because they have an itching ear, ⁴ And, from the truth, indeed, their ear, will they turn away, while, unto stories, they will turn themselves aside.

¹⁰ For, Demas, hath forsaken me, having loved the present age, and hath journeyed unto Thessalonica; Crescens unto Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia:

⁴ Unto Titus, my true child according to a common faith,––favour and peace, from God [our] Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

¹¹ Whose mouths must needs be stopped, men who are upsetting whole houses, teaching the things which ought not [to be taught]––for the sake of base gain.

¹² As soon as I shall send Artemus unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come to me unto Nicopolis; for, there, have I determined to winter.

²¹ Confident of thine obedience, I have written unto thee, knowing that, even beyond what I say, thou wilt do:––

²⁷ By faith, he forsook Egypt––not put in fear of the wrath of the king; for, as seeing him who cannot be seen, he persevered.

¹² Wherefore, the slackened hands and paralysed knees, restore ye, ¹³ And, straight tracks, be making for your feet––that the lame member may not be dislocated, but, be healed rather. ¹⁴ Peace, be pursuing, with all, and the obtaining of holiness,––without which no one shall see the Lord: ¹⁵ Using oversight––lest any one be falling behind from the favour of God,––lest any root of bitterness, springing up above, be causing trouble, and, through it, the many, be defiled:

⁷ Unto you, then, is the honour––[unto you] who believe; but, unto such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected,––The same, hath become head of the corner, ⁸ And a stone to strike against, and a rock to stumble over: Who stumble because, unto the word, they do not yield,––unto which also they have been appointed;

⁸ Be sober! be watchful! Your slanderous adversary, as a roaring lion, is walking about––seeking to devour:

¹ But there arose false–prophets also among the people, as, among you also, there shall be, false–teachers,––men who will stealthily bring in destructive parties, even the Master that bought them, denying, bringing upon themselves speedy destruction; ² And, many, will follow out their wanton ways,––by reason of whom, the way of truth, will be defamed,
³ And, in greed, with forged words, will they, of you, make merchandise: for whom, the sentence from of old, is not idle, and, their destruction, doth not slumber.

¹ Beloved! not in every spirit, believe ye, but test the spirits, whether they are, of God; because, many false prophets, have gone out into the world.

⁷ Because, many deceivers, have gone out into the world, they who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh: This, is the deceiver and the antichrist. ⁸ Be taking heed unto yourselves, lest ye lose what things we earned,––but, a full reward, ye may duly receive. ⁹ Every one that taketh a lead, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not, God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same, hath, both the Father and the Son.
¹⁰ If anyone cometh unto you and, this teaching, doth not bring, be not receiving him home, and, Joy to thee! do not say; ¹¹ For, he that biddeth him rejoice, hath fellowship with his wicked works.

⁴ For there have crept in unobserved certain men, who, from of old, have been publicly notified for this sentence, ungodly, men, the favour of our God, turning into wantonness, and, our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ, denying.

²² And, on some, indeed, have mercy,––such as are in doubt, be saving, out of the fire, snatching them; ²³ But, on others, have mercy with fear, hating even, the garment, spotted by the flesh.

¹⁴ Nevertheless, I have against thee, a few things,––that thou hast there, such as hold fast the teaching of Balaam,––who went on to teach Balak to throw a cause of stumbling before the sons of Israel, to eat idol–sacrifices and to commit lewdness: ¹⁵ thus, even, thou, hast such as hold fast the teaching of the Nicolaitanes, in like manner.

²⁰ Nevertheless, I have against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, she who calleth herself a prophetess, and is teaching and leading astray my own servants to commit lewdness and to eat idol–sacrifices;

²⁴ But, unto you, I say,––the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, such as have not come to know the deep things of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;

⁷ And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Philadelphia, write:––These things, saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and no one shall shut, and shutteth and no one openeth: ⁸ I know thy works,––lo! I have set before thee an open door, as to which, no one, can shut it,––that thou hast, a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

¹² saying––Amen! The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the might,––be unto our God, unto the ages of ages. [Amen]!

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out,––the ancient serpent, he that is called Adversary and the Satan, that deceiveth the whole habitable world,––he was cast to the earth, and his messengers, with him, were cast.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out,––the ancient serpent, he that is called Adversary and the Satan, that deceiveth the whole habitable world,––he was cast to the earth, and his messengers, with him, were cast. ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying––Now, hath come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren hath been cast out, who was accusing them before our God day and night; ¹¹ And, they, overcame him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of their witnessing word, and they loved not their life, even unto death.

⁸ And all they who are dwelling upon the earth will do homage unto him,––[every one] whose name is not written in the scroll of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

²⁰ And the wild–beast, was taken, and, with him, the false prophet who wrought the signs before him, whereby he deceived them who received the mark of the wild–beast and them who were doing homage unto his image,––alive, were they two cast into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone.
