14 as also ye have known in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before that ye might have a second grace
16 and to pass by you into Macedonia and to come again out of Macedonia unto you and of you to be sent forward to Judaea.
17 When I, therefore, was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that of me there should be yes, yes, and no, no?
18 But God is faithful that our word toward you has not been yes and no.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, has not been yes and no, but in him was yes.
20 For all the promises of God are yes in him, and in him Amen, by us for the glory of God.
