2. Make room for us in your hearts; we have wronged no one, we have ruined no one, we have exploited no one.
3. I do not say this to condemn you, for I told you before that you are in our hearts so that we die together and live together with you.
4. I have great confidence in you; I take great pride on your behalf. I am filled with encouragement; I am overflowing with joy in the midst of all our suffering.
5. For even when we came into Macedonia, our body had no rest at all, but we were troubled in every way – struggles from the outside, fears from within.
6. But God, who encourages the downhearted, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
