SCRIPTURE

"And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him." — 2 Corinthians 7:15 (ASV)

Whilst he remembereth (αναμιμνησκομενου). Present middle participle of αναμιμνησκω, to remind, in the genitive case agreeing with αυτου (his, of him).

The obedience of you all (την παντων υμων υπακουην). A remarkable statement of the complete victory of Titus in spite of a stubborn minority still opposing Paul.

With fear and trembling (μετα φοβου κα τρομου). He had brought a stern message (1 Corinthians 5:5) and they had trembled at the words of Titus (cf. Ephesians 6:5). Paul had himself come to the Corinthians at first with a nervous dread (1 Corinthians 2:3).
