Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:2 - Let your hearts be open to us: we have done no man wrong, no man has been damaged by us, we have made no profit out of any man,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:3 - It is not with the purpose of judging you that I say this: for I have said before that you are in our hearts for life and death together.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:4 - My words to you are without fear, I am full of pride on account of you: I have great comfort and joy in all our troubles.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:5 - For even when we had come into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; there were fightings outside and fears inside.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:8 - For though my letter gave you pain, I have no regret for it now, though I had before; for I see that the letter gave you pain, but only for a time.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:11 - For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:14 - For I was not put to shame in anything in which I may have made clear to him my pride in you; but as we said nothing to you but what was true, so the good things which I said to Titus about you were seen by him to be true.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:15 - And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:16 - It gives me great joy to see you answering to my good opinion of you in every way.
