2 Corinthians 7:14

“For their sake I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

I had no rest for my spirit, not finding Titus my brother. But saying farewell to them, I went on to Macedonia.

Great is my boldness toward you; great is my boasting on your behalf. I have been filled with comfort; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.

But God, who comforts the humbled, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

For this reason we have been comforted. And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will consider me beyond what he sees in me or hears from me.
