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.
21 Now it is God who establishes us with you in Messiah. He anointed us,
22 set His seal on us, and gave us the Ruach in our hearts as a pledge.
23 But I call God as my witness—to spare you, I didn’t come to Corinth again.
