2 Corinthians 7:1

Self-Purification

7:1 Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that could defile the body and the spirit, and thus accomplish holiness out of reverence for God.

2 Corinthians 7:11

7:11 For see what this very thing, this sadness as God intended, has produced in you: what eagerness, what defense of yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what deep concern, what punishment! In everything you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

tn Or “purify ourselves.”

tn Grk “from every defilement of the flesh.”

tn Grk “accomplishing.” The participle has been translated as a finite verb due to considerations of contemporary English style, and “thus” has been supplied to indicate that it represents a result of the previous cleansing.

tn Grk “in the fear of God.”

tn Grk “this very thing, to be grieved.”

tn The words “of yourselves” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

sn What indignation refers to the Corinthians’ indignation at the offender.

tn Or “what zeal.”

sn That is, punishment for the offender.
