What Does 2 Corinthians 7:14 Mean?
Before sending Titus, Paul had spoken proudly of the Corinthians, expressing confidence in them. Now the visit has vindicated that confidence; he has no reason to be embarrassed.
Just as everything Paul had taught them was truthful, so his boasting about them to Titus turned out to be the simple truth. Integrity runs all the way through Paul's ministry -- in what he says to people and in what he says about them. When promises and praise are anchored in honesty, they hold, and trust between brothers and sisters is confirmed.
