for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,

As a result, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

Nor do we boast beyond certain limits in the work done by others, but we hope that as your faith continues to grow, our work may be greatly expanded among you according to our limits,

With the result that I have been begging Titus that, as he had been the one to begin the work with you, so he should complete among you this grace also.

And God is able to give you an overflowing measure of every grace, so that all your wants of every kind may be supplied at all times, and you may give of your abundance to every good work;

I may carry the gospel to countries beyond you; and not be boasting of work made ready to my hand within another man's limit.
