2 Corinthians 7:7 Context
5For when wee were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on euery side; without were fightings, within were feares. 6Neuerthelesse, God that comforteth those that are cast downe, comforted vs by the comming of Titus. 7And not by his comming onely, but by the consolation wherewith hee was comforted in you, when he told vs your earnest desire, your mourning, your feruent minde toward me, so that I reioyced the more. 8For though I made you sory with a letter, I doe not repent, though I did repent: For I perceiue that the same Epistle hath made you sory, thogh it were but for a season. 9Now I reioyce, not that ye were made sorie, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorie after a godly maner, that ye might receiue damage by vs in nothing.
