2 Corinthians 7:4-7
English Standard Version
4 I am acting with (A)great boldness toward you; (B)I have great pride in you; (C)I am filled with comfort. In all our affliction, I am overflowing with joy.
5 For even (D)when we came into Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn—(E)fighting without and fear within. 6 But (F)God, who comforts the downcast, (G)comforted us by the coming of Titus, 7 and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted by you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

2 Corinthians 7:4-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 I have great confidence in you; I have great pride in you. I am filled with encouragement; I am overcome with joy in all our afflictions.
5 In fact, when we came into Macedonia,(A) we[a] had no rest. Instead, we were troubled in every way: conflicts(B) on the outside, fears(C) inside. 6 But God, who comforts the humble,(D) comforted us by the arrival of Titus, 7 and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he received from you. He told us about your deep longing, your sorrow,[b] and your zeal(E) for me, so that I rejoiced even more.
