2 Corinthians 7:14

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

2 Corinthians 8:8

8 ^cI say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.

2 Corinthians 9:2-4

2 for I know your readiness, ^dof which I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready ^esince last year. And your zeal has stirred up most of them. 3 But ^fI am sending ^{▼▼Or I have sent} the brothers so that our boasting about you may not prove empty in this matter, so that you may be ready, ^has I said you would be. 4 Otherwise, if some Macedonians ⁱcome with me and find that you are not ready, we would be humiliated—to say nothing of you—for being so confident.
