For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
If I talked you up to Titus, I'm not embarrassed about it at all. Just like I've always been straight with you about everything, all the good things I told him about you turned out to be completely true.
When you live authentically, people can brag about you with confidence.
