2 Corinthians 7:2-4

Godly Sorrow, Restored Affection, and Comfort in Repentance

Paul moves from the promise-grounded call to complete holiness, to an open-hearted plea for restored relationship, to the report of Titus’s comfort, showing that godly sorrow produces repentance, renewed obedience, and deep pastoral joy.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.

3 I do not say this to condemn you. I have said before that you so occupy our hearts that we live and die together with you.

4 Great is my confidence in you; great is my pride in you; I am filled with encouragement; in all our troubles my joy overflows.
