- And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
- And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
- When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
- But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
- For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
|
- Because I was confident of this, I planned to visit you first so that you might benefit twice.
- I planned to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea.
- When I planned this, did I do it lightly? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say, "Yes, yes" and "No, no"?
- But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not "Yes" and "No."
- For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not "Yes" and "No," but in him it has always been "Yes."
|
- For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
- Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
- Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
- Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
- Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
|
- For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.
- Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,
- set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
- I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.
- Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.
