{If--I have gloried} (ei--kekauch(886d)ai). Condition of first
class. On this verb see  1Co 3:21  2Co 5:12 . {I was not put to
shame} (ou kat(8869)schunth(886e)). First aorist passive indicative of
kataischun(935c). Paul had assured Titus, who hesitated to go after
the failure of Timothy, that the Corinthians were sound at bottom
and would come round all right if handled properly. Paul's joy is
equal to that of Titus. {In truth} (en al(8874)hei(8369)). In the sharp
letter as well as in I Corinthians. He had not hesitated to speak
plainly of their sins. {Our glorying before Titus} (h(8820)kauch(8873)is
epi Titou). The two things were not inconsistent and were not
contradictory as the outcome proved.
