Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 7:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 7 in context

Scripture Focus

1Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

2 Corinthians 7:1-2

Biblical Context

The passage invites cleansing from both fleshly and spiritual impurities and urges a life of holiness lived in reverent awe of God. It also reassures that none have been harmed or defrauded.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, these verses are not about external rules but the state you assume in consciousness. 'Having therefore these promises' invites you to dwell in the I AM that is already pure; the cleansing spoken is the shedding of any belief that you are other than holy. Filthiness of the flesh and spirit are but thoughts you have accepted as real; when you refuse to identify with them and align with your God-state, holiness is perfected—not earned by effort, but recognized as your natural mode when fear of God steadies your inner gaze. The claim 'we have wronged no man' is your inner correction: you stop seeking from others what only your I AM can supply, you stop defrauding the self by split desires. As you yield to this inner turning—renouncing blame, guilt, and grievance—you reform your entire inner atmosphere and invite a living integrity to manifest as your true self. You awaken to the truth that these promises are your present condition, awaiting your recognition and unwavering assumption.

Practice This Now

Imagine yourself standing in a room of pure light and declare, 'I AM holy and cleansed.' Feel the truth sink into your chest, then revise any memory of harm by quietly affirming, 'I have harmed no one,' until it feels real.
