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.
