2 Corinthians 1 — Context

13

For we write no other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end:

14

as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

15

And in this confidence I was minded to come first unto you, that ye might have a second benefit;

16

and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judæa.

17

When I therefore was thus minded, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?

18

But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay.

19

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea.
