1 Therefore having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all the filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2 Receive us: we have injured no one, we have corrupted no one, we have defrauded no one. 3 I do not speak for castigation: for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die with you and to live with you. 4 My boldness to you is great, my rejoicing over you is much: I have been filled with consolation, I superabound with joy in all our tribulation. 5 For we having come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but in everything being troubled; fightings without, fears within. 6 But God, the one comforting the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 7 and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted by you, proclaiming unto us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more. 2 Corinthians 7:1-7, Godbey New Testament.
