1
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God.
2
Receive us. We have injured no man: we have corrupted no man: we have overreached no man.
3
I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before that you are in our hearts: to die together and to live together.
4
Great is my confidence for you: great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation.
5
For also, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest: but we suffered all tribulation. Combats without: fears within.
6
But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus.
