A Letter That Caused Sadness

¹⁴ For if I have boasted anything about you to him, I was not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting as to Titus became truth. ¹⁵ And his tender feelings are more abundant toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, as you received him with fear and trembling. ¹⁶ Therefore I rejoice that I have confidence in you in everything.
