1 Corinthians 9:15

15But aI have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone bdeprive me of my ground for boasting.

2 Corinthians 7:14

14For cwhatever boasts I made to him about you, I was not put to shame. But just as everything we said to you dwas true, so also our boasting before Titus has proved true.
