In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing;

And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;

that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey to Judea.

And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.

Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I decide, do I decide according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time?

When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.

But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not yes and no, but has been yes in Him.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

For as many as the promises of God are, in Him they are yes; therefore through Him also is our Amen to the glory of God through us.

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.

Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
