NASB
"In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing;"
— 2 Corinthians 1:15, NASB
“And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;”
“And in this confidence I was minded to come first unto you, that ye might have a second benefit; ”
“In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;”
“And with this confidence I intended to come to you first so that you would get a second opportunity to see us,”
“And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you before, that you might have a second grace:”
“And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;”
“And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;”
For our proud confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.
For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end;
just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing;
that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey to Judea.
Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time?
But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.
