2 Corinthians 1:12-14

12Indeed, this is our boast: The testimony of our conscience is that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, with godly sincerity and purity, not by human wisdom but by God’s grace.

13For we are writing nothing to you other than what you can read and also understand. I hope you will understand completely —

14just as you have partially understood us — that we are your reason for pride, just as you also are ours in the day of our Lord Jesus.
