18As God is true, our word to you is not Yes and No.
19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we were preaching among you, even I and Silvanus and Timothy, was not Yes and No, but in him is Yes.
20For he is the Yes to all the undertakings of God: and by him all the words of God are made certain and put into effect, to the glory of God through us.
21Now he who makes our faith strong together with you, in Christ, and has given us of his grace, is God;
22And it is he who has put his stamp on us, even the Spirit, as the sign in our hearts of the coming glory.
23But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.
24Not that we have authority over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy: for it is faith which is your support.
