2 Corinthians 7:2-7

2 1Make room for us in your hearts; we wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we took advantage of no one. 3I do not speak to condemn you, for I have said 2before that you are 3in our hearts to die together and to live together. 4Great is my 4confidence 5in you; great is my 6boasting on your behalf. I am filled with 7comfort; I am overflowing with 8joy in all our affliction.

5For even when we came into 9Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were 10afflicted on every side: 11conflicts without, fears within. 6But 12God, who comforts the 13depressed, 14comforted us by the coming of 15Titus; 7and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more.
