Joy and Repentance

Accept us.[a] We have wronged no one, corrupted(A) no one, defrauded no one. I don’t say this to condemn you, for I have already said that you are in our hearts, to live together and to die together.

  1. 2 Corinthians 7:2 Lit Make room for us

Make room for us in your hearts[a]. We have wronged no one, we have ruined no one, we have defrauded no one. I do not say this to condemn you[b], because I have already said that you are in our hearts, so that we die together and we live together. Great is my confidence toward you; great is my boasting on your behalf; I am filled with encouragement; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.
