2 Corinthians 7:13-16
English Standard Version
13 Therefore (A)we are comforted.
And besides our own comfort, we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his spirit (B)has been refreshed by you all. 14 For (C)whatever boasts I made to him about you, I was not put to shame. But just as everything we said to you (D)was true, so also our boasting before Titus has proved true. 15 And his affection for you is even greater, as he remembers (E)the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling. 16 I rejoice, because I have complete (F)confidence in you.

Lexham English Bible
13 Because of this we have been encouraged, and in addition to our encouragement, we rejoiced much more over the joy of Titus, because his spirit had been refreshed by all of you. 14 For if I have boasted anything to him about you, I have not been put to shame, but as I have spoken everything to you in truth, thus also our boasting to Titus has proven to be true[a]. 15 And his affection for you is all the more when he[b] remembers the obedience of all of you as you welcomed him with fear and trembling. 16 I rejoice, because in everything I am completely confident in you.
