2 Corinthians 7:4-7
New International Version
4 I have spoken to you with great frankness; I take great pride in you.(A) I am greatly encouraged;(B) in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds.(C)
5 For when we came into Macedonia,(D) we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn(E)—conflicts on the outside, fears within.(F) 6 But God, who comforts the downcast,(G) comforted us by the coming of Titus,(H) 7 and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever.
2 Corinthians 7:4-7
New Living Translation
4 I have the highest confidence in you, and I take great pride in you. You have greatly encouraged me and made me happy despite all our troubles.
Paul’s Joy at the Church’s Repentance
5 When we arrived in Macedonia, there was no rest for us. We faced conflict from every direction, with battles on the outside and fear on the inside. 6 But God, who encourages those who are discouraged, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus. 7 His presence was a joy, but so was the news he brought of the encouragement he received from you. When he told us how much you long to see me, and how sorry you are for what happened, and how loyal you are to me, I was filled with joy!
