“Cleansed” 2 Corinthians 7:1 "Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God."

There is a cleansing that God alone does in our lives, but there is also a cleansing that God wants to do in cooperation with us. Here, Paul is writing about a cleansing that isn’t something God does for us as we sit passively; this is a self-cleansing for intimacy with God that goes beyond a general cleansing for sin.
