2 Corinthians 7:13-16
New International Version
13 By all this we are encouraged.
In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus(A) was, because his spirit has been refreshed by all of you. 14 I had boasted to him about you,(B) and you have not embarrassed me. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus(C) has proved to be true as well. 15 And his affection for you is all the greater when he remembers that you were all obedient,(D) receiving him with fear and trembling.(E) 16 I am glad I can have complete confidence in you.(F)
2 Corinthians 7:13-16
New Living Translation
13 We have been greatly encouraged by this.
In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus was about the way all of you welcomed him and set his mind[a] at ease. 14 I had told him how proud I was of you—and you didn’t disappoint me. I have always told you the truth, and now my boasting to Titus has also proved true! 15 Now he cares for you more than ever when he remembers the way all of you obeyed him and welcomed him with such fear and deep respect. 16 I am very happy now because I have complete confidence in you.
