“Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.”
I have great confidence in you; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds — Paul's parrēsia (confidence) and kauchēsis (boasting) about Corinth have returned. Despite trials (thlipseis), his joy (chara) is unbounded (hyperperisseuō). Confidence in their transformation sustains him.
