2 Corinthians 7:1

Self-Purification

7:1 Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves 1  from everything that could defile the body 2  and the spirit, and thus accomplish 3  holiness out of reverence for God. 4 

2 Corinthians 7:11

Context
7:11 For see what this very thing, this sadness 5  as God intended, has produced in you: what eagerness, what defense of yourselves, 6  what indignation, 7  what alarm, what longing, what deep concern, 8  what punishment! 9  In everything you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

1 tn Or “purify ourselves.”

2 tn Grk “from every defilement of the flesh.”

3 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.

4 tn Grk “in the fear of God.”

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

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

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

8 tn Or “what zeal.”

9 sn That is, punishment for the offender.
