2 Corinthians 7:1-3

International Children’s Bible

7 Dear friends, we have these promises from God. So we should make ourselves pure—free from anything that makes body or soul unclean. We should try to become perfect in the way we live, because we respect God.

Paul’s Joy

² Open your hearts to us. We have not done wrong to anyone. We have not ruined the faith of any person, and we have cheated no one. ³ I do not say this to blame you. I told you before that we love you so much that we would live or die with you.
