2 Corinthians 7:1-7 ▼

1 HAVING therefore these promises, my beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, and let us serve in holiness in the fear of God.

2 Be patient; my brethren, we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

3 I do not say this to condemn you: for I have said before, that you are in our hearts, to die and live with you.

4 I am familiar enough to speak boldly with you, and I am very proud of you: and I am filled with satisfaction, and I am overwhelmed with joy in all our troubles.

5 For ever since we came to Mac-e-do’ni-a, our bodies have had no rest but have been troubled by everything; war without and fears within.

6 Nevertheless God, who comforts the meek, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

7 And not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, for he brought us the good news concerning your love towards us, your mourning and your zeal on our behalf; and when I heard it, I rejoiced exceedingly.
