1. Therefore since we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of body and spirit, accomplishing holiness in the fear of God.
2. Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have ruined no one, we have defrauded no one.
3. I do not say this to condemn you, because I have already said that you are in our hearts, so that we die together and we live together.
4. Great is my confidence toward you; great is my boasting on your behalf; I am filled with encouragement; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.
