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.

Siehe, daß ihr göttlich seid betrübt worden, welchen Fleiß hat das in euch gewirkt, dazu Verantwortung, Zorn, Furcht, Verlangen, Eifer, Rache! Ihr habt euch bewiesen in allen Stücken, daß ihr rein seid in der Sache.
Porque he aquí, esto mismo que según Dios fuisteis contristados, cuánta solicitud ha obrado en vosotros, y aun defensa, y aun enojo, y aun temor, y aun gran deseo, y aun celo, y aun vindicación. En todo os habéis mostrado limpios en el negocio.
Miren cuánto empeño ha producido en ustedes esta misma tristeza conforme a Dios: ¡qué defensa, qué indignación, qué temor, qué anhelo, qué celo, qué disposición a hacer justicia! En todo han demostrado estar limpios en este asunto.
Et voici, cette même tristesse selon Dieu, quel empressement n'a-t-elle pas produit en vous! Quelle justification, quelle indignation, quelle crainte, quel désir ardent, quel zèle, quelle punition! Vous avez montré à tous égards que vous étiez purs dans cette affaire.
Perciocchè, ecco, questo stesso fatto che voi siete stati contristati secondo Iddio, quanta premura ha prodotta in voi, qual giustificazione, quale indegnazione, qual timore, qual grande affezione, quale zelo, qual punizione! per ogni maniera voi avete dimostrato che siete puri in quest’affare
Porque, quanto cuidado não produziu isto mesmo em vós que, segundo Deus, fostes contristados! que apologia, que indignação, que temor, que saudades, que zelo, que vingança! Em tudo mostrastes estar puros neste negócio.
你看,你們依著上帝的意思而憂愁,這在你們當中產生了何等的殷勤、甚至辯白、甚至憤慨、甚至恐懼、甚至渴望、甚至熱忱、甚至責罰。在這一切事上,你們都表明自己是無可指責的。
