2 Corinthians 1:15

Compare all

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.

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.
