17. Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do this lightly? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, so that I would tell you “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?
18. But as God is true, we did not tell you “Yes” and “No.”
19. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by Silas, Timothy, and me, was not “Yes” and “No.” In Him it was “Yes.”
20. For all the promises of God in Him are “Yes,” and in Him “Amen,” to the glory of God through us.
21. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
22. who also has sealed us and established the guarantee with the Spirit in our hearts.
23. Moreover I call God as a witness upon my soul, that it is to spare you that I have not yet gone to Corinth.
