2 Corinthians 7:4-7 I use indeed great freedom of speech toward you, yet I greatly glory upon your account: I am filled with comfort, and my joy is still superiour to all my affliction.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ I use indeed great freedom of speech toward you, yet I greatly glory upon your account: I am filled with comfort, and my joy is still superiour to all my affliction. ⁵ for when I came to Macedonia, I had no respit from the trouble that beset me on every side: oppositions from without, and apprehensions within. ⁶ nevertheless, God who comforteth those that are cast down, gave me comfort by the arrival of Titus: not barely by his presence, ⁷ but by the consolation I received from you by him, when he acquainted me with your earnest desire to see me, with your concern, and your zeal for me; which greatly increas'd my joy.
