2 Corinthians 7:5-7
Christian Standard Bible
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) within. 6 But God, who comforts the downcast,(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, and your zeal(E) for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

Paul’s Joy at the Church’s Repentance
5 When we arrived in Macedonia, there was no rest for us.

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!
