I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die and live with you.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 7:3 Go To 2 Corinthians 7
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul mentions both dying and living, in order to preserve the right balance. For there are a lot of people who will sympathize with others in their misfortunes, but when things turn out well for them they become jealous and do not rejoice on their behalf. Not so the faithful, who are not wounded by envy.
