14 just as you understood us in part, so that we are your reason for boasting just as you also are ours in the Day of our Lord Yeshua.
15 Because of this confidence, I was planning to come to you first, so that you might have a second benefit—
16 to pass by you on my way to Macedonia and again from Macedonia to come back to you, and to be helped by you on my journey to Judea.
17 So when I was planning to do this, I didn’t do so lightly, did I? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh—so it might be with me “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
18 But as God is faithful, our message to you is not both “Yes” and “No.”
19 For Ben-Elohim—Yeshua the Messiah, who was proclaimed among you by us, by myself and Silvanus and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No.” Rather, in Him it has always been “Yes.”
20 For in Him all the promises of God are “Yes.” Therefore also through Him is the “Amen” by us, to the glory of God.
