And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of (B)Titus, because his (C)spirit has been refreshed by you all. 14 For if I have (D)boasted to him about you regarding anything, I was not put to shame. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before (E)Titus proved to be the truth. 15 His [a]affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the (F)obedience of you all, how you received him with (G)fear and trembling. 16 I rejoice that in everything (H)I have confidence in you.

  1. 2 Corinthians 7:15 Lit inward parts

13 This is what comforted us. In addition to our own comfort, we were even more delighted at the joy of Titus, because his spirit had been set at rest by all of you. 14 For if I have been doing some boasting about you to him, I have never been ashamed of it.
