¹³ I ^(A)had no rest for my spirit, not finding ^(B)Titus my brother; but ^(C)saying goodbye to them, I went on to ^(D)Macedonia.

¹³ Because of this, we have been ^(A)comforted.

And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of ^(B)Titus, because his ^(C)spirit has been refreshed by you all. ¹⁴ For if I have ^(D)boasted to him about you regarding anything, I was not put to shame. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before ^(E)Titus proved to be the truth. ¹⁵ His ^[a]affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the ^(F)obedience of you all, how you received him with ^(G)fear and trembling. ¹⁶ I rejoice that in everything ^(H)I have confidence in you.
