2 Corinthians 7:16
14 Indeed, I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well.
15 And his affection for you is even greater when he remembers that you were all obedient as you welcomed him with fear and trembling.
I rejoice that I can have complete confidence in you.
