Rotherham(i)
12 Hence, if I even wrote unto you, it was not for the sake of him that did the wrong, [nay] not even for the sake of him that suffered the wrong; but for the sake of your earnestness, which was on our account, being made manifest unto you, before God:––
13 For this cause, have we received encouragement. In addition to our encouragement, however, much more abundantly, have we rejoiced over the joy of Titus,––that his spirit hath received refreshment from you all,
14 That, if in anything––unto him––in your behalf––I have boasted, I have not been put to shame; but, as, all things, in truth, we told you, so, even our boasting before Titus, turned out to be, truth.
15 And, his tender affections, are, much more abundantly towards you, when he calleth to mind the obedience, of you all,––how, with fear and trembling, ye gave him welcome.
