- In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing;
- that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey to Judea.
- Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time?
- But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.
- For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us--by me and Silvanus and Timothy--was not yes and no, but is yes in Him.
|
- 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 as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.
- Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
- who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
- But I call God as witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.
- Not that we lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm.
|
- 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.
