What Does 2 Corinthians 7:2 Mean?
After the appeal to holiness, Paul returns to the strained relationship between himself and this church. Some had questioned his motives, so he answers plainly: make room for us in your affection.
His threefold denial -- no wrong, no corruption, no fraud -- clears the air of every accusation. A true shepherd of Christ can stand before his people with clean hands. The integrity Paul claims here is the same openness he longs for in return: hearts unguarded, trust restored, fellowship made whole.
