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.

2 Corinthians 7:13-16
New English Translation
13 Therefore we have been encouraged. And in addition to our own encouragement, we rejoiced even more at the joy of Titus, because all of you have refreshed his spirit.[a] 14 For if I have boasted to him about anything concerning you, I have not been embarrassed by you,[b] but just as everything we said to you was true,[c] so our boasting to Titus about you[d] has proved true as well. 15 And his affection for you is much greater[e] when he remembers the obedience of you all, how you welcomed him with fear and trembling. 16 I rejoice because in everything I am fully confident in you.
