17When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"
18But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not "Yes and no."
19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes."
20For however many are the promises of God, in him is the "Yes." Therefore also through him is the "Amen," to the glory of God through us.
21Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;
22who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
23But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn`t come to Corinth to spare you.
