2 Corinthians #:#: Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one. I do not say this to condemn; for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.


Paul assures them that he has corrupted no man. He has defrauded no man. He didn’t come to them to take up offerings for all sorts of projects. I wish a great many Christians could say the same thing. Paul could assure them that he had wronged no man, corrupted no man, defrauded no man. Paul loved these Christians. They were constantly on his heart. 1
