20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Messiah, and anointed us, is God;
22 who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you.
24 Not that we control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
