2 Corinthians 7:5

Read in context

2 Corinthians 7:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

5 For when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears within.

6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,

7 and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.
