18and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became not Yes and No,
19for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached -- through me and Silvanus and Timotheus -- did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;
20for as many as [are] promises of God, in him [are] the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;
21and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint us, [is] God,
22who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth;
24not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.
