15. And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you before, that you might have a second grace:
16. And to pass by you into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be brought on my way towards Judea.
17. Whereas then I was thus minded, did I use lightness? Or, the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that there should be with me, It is, and It is not?
18. But God is faithful, for our preaching which was to you, was not, It is, and It is not.
19. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ who was preached among you by us, by me, and Sylvanus, and Timothy, was not, It is and It is not, but, It is, was in him.
20. For all the promises of God are in him, It is; therefore also by him, amen to God, unto our glory.
