SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:15
Y sus entraas son ms abundantes para con vosotros, cuando se acuerda de la obediencia de todos vosotros, y de cmo lo recibisteis con temor y temblor.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 7:15
Verse 15. And his inward affection] ta splagagcna autou? Those bowels of his-his most tender affection. For the meaning of this word see the note on Matt. ix. 36. Whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all] This is a very natural picture; he represents Titus as overjoyed even while he is delivering his account of the Corinthian Church. He expatiated on it with extreme delight, and thereby showed at once both his love for St. Paul and his love for them. He loved them because they so loved the apostle; and he loved them because they had shown such kindness to himself; and he loved them because he found so many excellent and rare gifts, joined to so much humility, producing such an exemplary and holy life.
With fear and trembling ye received him.] Ye reverenced his authority; ye were obedient to his directions; and ye dreaded lest any thing should be undone or ill done which he had delivered to you in the name of God.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And his inward affection is more abundant toward you , etc..] Or his bowels; denoting the tenderness of his heart, the strength of his affections, which inwardly and to a very great degree moved towards them; especially whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all ; to him, and to me by him; to the advice and orders given, which were so readily, cheerfully, and universally complied with; and how with fear and trembling you received him ; that is, with great humility and respect, with much deference to him: considering his character as a minister of the Gospel, and as one sent by the apostle to them, they embraced him with great marks of honour and esteem; for this is not to be understood of any inward slavish fear or dread of mind, or trembling of body at the sight of him, and because he came to know their estate, and with reproofs from the apostle to them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-16 - The apostle was not disappointed concerning them, which he signified to Titus; and he could with joy declare the confidence he had in them for the time to come. Here see the duties of a pastor and of his flock; the latter must lighten the troubles of the pastoral office, by respect an obedience; the former make a due return by his care of them, an cherish the flock by testimonies of satisfaction, joy, and tenderness __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
7:15 {Whilst he remembereth} (anamimneskomenou). Present middle participle of anamimneskw, to remind, in the genitive case agreeing with autou (his, of him). {The obedience of you all} (ten pantwn humwn hupakouen). A remarkable statement of the complete victory of Titus in spite of a stubborn minority still opposing Paul. {With fear and trembling} (meta fobou kai tromou). He had brought a stern message (#1Co 5:5) and they had trembled at the words of Titus (cf. #Eph 6:5; Php 2:12). Paul had himself come to the Corinthians at first with a nervous dread (#1Co 2:3).
