1 Because God, then, will give us such rewards, dear brothers, let us make ourselves clean from all evil of flesh and spirit, and become completely holy in the fear of God.
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,
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.
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.
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.
6 But God who gives comfort to the poor in spirit gave us comfort by the coming of Titus;
7 And not by his coming only, but by the comfort which he had in you, while he gave us word of your desire, your sorrow, your care for me; so that I was still more glad.
