1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sactification in the fear of God. 2 Receive us. We have injured no man, we have corrupted no man, we have overreached no man. 3 I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before, that you are in our hearts, to die together, and to live together. 4 Great is my confidence for you, great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation. 5 For also when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we suffered all tribulation; combats without, fears within. 6 But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus. 7 And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation, wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more. 2 Corinthians 7:1-7, Douay-Rheims Bible.
