For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.

Διοτι ιδου, αυτο τουτο, το οτι ελυπηθητε κατα Θεον, ποσην σπουδην εγεννησεν εις εσας, αλλα απολογιαν, αλλα αγανακτησιν, αλλα φοβον, αλλα ποθον, αλλα ζηλον, αλλ' εκδικησιν. Κατα παντα απεδειξατε εαυτους οτι εισθε καθαροι εις τουτο το πραγμα.

For 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.
