2 Corinthians 7:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ I do not say this to ·blame [condemn] you. [^LFor] I told you before that ·we love you so much [^Lyou are in our hearts so that] we would live or die with you. ⁴ I ·feel very sure of you [am very confident in you; or have spoken very boldy/frankly to you] and am very proud of you. You give me much ·comfort [encouragement], and in all of our ·troubles [trials; tribulation] I ·have great [overflow with] joy.

⁵ [^LFor] When we came into Macedonia [1:16], ·we [our body/flesh] had no rest [^CHere Paul picks up his account where he left off at 2:13]. We found ·trouble [trial; tribulation] all around us. We had ·fighting [battles; conflicts] on the outside and fear on the inside.
