2 Corinthians 7:7 And not only by his arrival but also by the encouragement with which he was encouraged by you, as he reported to us your strong affection (epipothēsin | ἐπιπόθησιν | acc sg fem), your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that I rejoiced more than ever.
2 Corinthians 7:11 For see what eagerness this very thing — this sadness as God intended — has produced in you; what defense of yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing (epipothēsin | ἐπιπόθησιν | acc sg fem), what deep concern, what punishment! In everything you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
