2 Corinthians 7:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ I do not say this to condemn you, for I said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together. ⁴ I often boast about you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with consolation; I am overjoyed in all our affliction.

⁵ For even when we came into Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were afflicted in every way—disputes without and fears within.
