14 just as you have also understood us in part, that we are your reason for boasting, just as you are also ours in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 And with this confidence, I was wanting to come to you previously, in order that you may have a second proof of my goodwill,
16 and through you to go to Macedonia, and to come to you again from Macedonia, and to be sent on my way by you to Judea.
17 Therefore, when I was wanting to do this, perhaps then was I making use of vacillation? Or was I deciding what I was deciding according to the flesh, in order that with me my “yes” may be “yes” and my “no” may be “no” at the same time?
18 But God is faithful, so that our word to you is not “yes” and “no.”
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the one who was proclaimed among you by us, by me and Silvanus and Timothy, did not become “yes” and “no,” but has become “yes” in him.
20 For as many as are the promises of God, in him they are “yes”; therefore also through him is the “amen” to the glory of God through us.
