13 For we write no other things to you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye will acknowledge even to the end;
14 As also ye have acknowledged us 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 purposed to come to you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again from Macedonia to you, and by you to be brought on my way towards Judea.
17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use levity? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea, yea, and nay, nay?
18 But as God is true, our word towards you was not yea and nay.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
