16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
16 I am glad I can have complete confidence in you.
16 I rejoice, because I have perfect confidence in you.
16 And I couldn't be more pleased - I'm so confident and proud of you.
16 Therefore I rejoice that I have confidence in you in everything.
16 I am very happy now because I have complete confidence in you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Corinthians 7:16
Commentary on 2 Corinthians 7:12-16
(Read 2 Corinthians 7:12-16)
The apostle was not disappointed concerning them, which he signified to Titus; and he could with joy declare the confidence he had in them for the time to come. Here see the duties of a pastor and of his flock; the latter must lighten the troubles of the pastoral office, by respect and obedience; the former make a due return by his care of them, and cherish the flock by testimonies of satisfaction, joy, and tenderness.
