2 Corinthians 7:1-4

1Since we have these promises, dear friends, we need to cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit and live a holy life in the fear of God.

2Open your hearts to us. We haven’t treated anyone unjustly, ruined anyone, or cheated anyone.

3I’m not saying this to condemn you. I’ve already told you that you are in our hearts so that we will live and die together.

4I have great confidence in you, and I have a lot of reasons to be proud of you. Even as we suffer, I’m encouraged and feel very happy.
