II Corinthians 1:17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? Some of his detractors at Corinth had urged from his change of plans that he was fickle, or that he made ambiguous promises, and was ready to break them. His original plan was probably conveyed in the letter which has not come down to us (I Corinthians 5:9). He declared his change of plans in I Corinthians 16:5. Do I purpose according to the flesh? In a carnal way. That with me there be yea, yea, and nay, nay? So that there should be a readiness to turn a "yea" into a "nay"; that is, no fixed purpose to do as promised.
