Therefore, since we have these promises, my beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, and let us work holiness in the fear of Elohim.
Read uses your browser’s device speech, without a provider key. Studio creates media through a paid provider using your own key. INjeel cannot install voices or guarantee any accent, language, or Syriac voice. System settings and voices exposed to a browser can differ.
iPhone and iPad: In Settings → Accessibility, look for Read & Speak → Voices (called Spoken Content on older versions). Choose a language and dialect. For downloadable enhanced voices, Apple also documents VoiceOver → Speech → Add New Language; choose a voice/quality and allow the download to finish on Wi-Fi. You do not need to enable VoiceOver to use INjeel. Apple’s current guide · iOS/iPadOS voice downloads
Android: Open Settings → Accessibility → Text-to-speech output. Choose the preferred engine and language; use its voice-data/download options where available. Names and paths vary by manufacturer/engine; search Settings for “text-to-speech” if needed. Google’s settings and voice-data guide
macOS: Apple menu → System Settings → Accessibility → Read & Speak. Choose System voice; open its additional voice controls to browse languages, country/region variants and downloadable voices. Wait until downloads finish, then choose the voice. Older versions may use Spoken Content. Apple’s Mac voice guide
Return here and reopen the voice selector. If new voices do not appear, refresh or reopen the app/browser. Select the voice and adjust Speed here; a system default need not override an explicit app selection. Android browsers may use their speech engine rather than a forced voice. Some voices use network services; availability and pronunciation depend on your device/browser, not the scripture’s historical pronunciation.

Therefore, since we have these promises, my beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, and let us work holiness in the fear of Elohim.
܀
Make room for us, brothers; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have defrauded no one.
܀
I do not say this to condemn you; for I said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live.
܀
I have great boldness toward you, and I have much boasting in you; I am filled with comfort, and I overflow with joy in all my afflictions.
܀
For even when we came to Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted in everything; outside were fights, and inside were fears.
܀
But Elohim, who comforts the lowly, comforted us by the coming of Titus.
܀
And not only by his coming, but also by the rest with which he was refreshed by you. For he told us of your love toward us, and of your grief, and of your zeal on our behalf; and when I heard it, great joy was mine.
܀
And even if I made you sad by the letter, I do not regret it, even if I did regret it; for I see that that letter, even if for a time it made you sad,
܀
yet it produced great joy for me, not because you were made sad, but because your sadness brought you to repentance; for you were made sad according to Elohim, so that you would lack nothing from us.
܀
For sadness on account of Elohim works a turning of the soul that is not reversed, and a turning to life; but the sadness of the world works death.
܀
For look, this same thing, that you were distressed on account of Elohim, how much diligence it worked in you, and defense, and anger, and fear, and love, and zeal, and vengeance! And in everything you showed yourselves that you are now pure in this matter.
܀
And it will be seen that I wrote to you, not for the sake of him who did the wrong, nor for the sake of him who received the wrong, only, but that your diligence toward us might be made known before Elohim.
܀
Because of this we were comforted; and with our comfort we rejoiced all the more in the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed with you all.
܀
so that I was not ashamed in anything I had boasted to him about you; but as we spoke everything in truth with you, so also our boasting toward Titus was found in truth.
܀
and his compassions also increased all the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.
܀
I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
