2 Corinthians 7:4

4I am acting with agreat boldness toward you; bI have great pride in you; cI am filled with comfort. In all our affliction, I am overflowing with joy.

2 Corinthians 8:24

24So give proof before the churches of your love and of dour boasting about you to these men.

2 Corinthians 9:2-4

2for I know your readiness, eof which I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready fsince last year. And your zeal has stirred up most of them. 3But gI 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, ias I said you would be.
4Otherwise, if some Macedonians jcome with me and find that you are not ready, we would be humiliated—to say nothing of you—for being so confident.
