2 Corinthians 1:23

Compare all

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.

2 Corinthians 1:23

I call God for a record upon my soul - Was not St. Paul now speaking by the Spirit? And can a more solemn oath be conceived? Who then can imagine that Christ ever designed to forbid all swearing? That to spare you I came not yet to Corinth - Lest I should be obliged to use severity. He says elegantly to Corinth, not to you, when be is intimating his power to punish.
