2 Corinthians 7:1–4

¹Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

²Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one. ³I do not say this to condemn you. I have said before that you so occupy our hearts that we live and die together with you. ⁴Great is my confidence in you; great is my pride in you; I am filled with encouragement; in all our troubles my joy overflows.
