2 Corinthians 1:13

Compare all

11 you also ^ahelping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on¹ our behalf ^bfor the gift granted to us through many.

Paul’s Sincerity

12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in¹ simplicity and ^agodly sincerity, ^bnot with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

13 For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you will understand, even to the end

14 (as also you have understood us in part), ^athat we are your boast as ^byou also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Sparing the Church

15 And in this confidence ^aI intended to come to you before, that you might have ^ba second benefit—

16 to pass by way of you to Macedonia, ^ato come again from Macedonia to you, and be helped by you on my way to Judea.

17 Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan ^aaccording to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?

18 But as God is ^afaithful, our word to you was not Yes and No.

19 For ^athe Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, ^bSilvanus, and ^cTimothy—was not Yes and No, ^dbut in Him was Yes.

20 ^aFor all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and ^ahas anointed us is God,

22 who ^aalso has sealed us and ^bgiven us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

23 Moreover ^aI call God as witness against my soul, ^bthat to spare you I came no more to Corinth.

24 Not ^athat we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for ^bby faith you stand.
