Display html code, not the tags

I am using a theme and I want to modify it in order to use html code in a text field.

This is the part of the code that renders this field:

do_shortcode( wpautop( esc_html( $sectionData['left-content'] ) ) )

I want to modify it in order to display html code properly, but it keeps rendering the tags and not the formatted text.

I want to display this but it displays <b>this</b>. How I can modify it?

You need to remove the esc_html(). The whole purpose of that function is to prevent text being interpreted as HTML.

do_shortcode( wpautop( $sectionData['left-content'] ) );
