2 Corinthians 9:3. But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect (‘as if we had gone too far in commending your eagerness'); that, even as I said, ye may be prepared: lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence. [1]

[1] The received reading here (“confidence of boasting”) is manifestly a gloss (from chap. 2 Corinthians 11:17).
