2 Corinthians 7:2-4 King James Version (KJV)
2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
2 Corinthians 7:2-4 English Standard Version (ESV)
Paul's Joy
2 Make room in your hearts for us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one. 3 I do not say this to condemn you, for I said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together. 4 I am acting with great boldness toward you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with comfort. In all our affliction, I am overflowing with joy.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
2 We should keep other believers on our hearts and try to live as Paul and his group did living righteously. We aren’t to take advantage of people but take advantage of chances to help people.
3 We as believers have all died to self and committed to live for Christ but Paul most likely is referring to the persecution that was happening to the Christians of those days, Paul maybe saying that if they get to them then they would get to Him and if they thrive with life so does He, the church is connected in such an amazing way thru Jesus.
4 Paul had a heart for this church. Jesus much more has a heart for us as believers. We should be bold in Him for one another and have a pride for our Lord and all of us who are His. He brings us joy and just as heaven rejoices over the sheep coming into the fold, we as well should rejoice over believers coming to faith.
