2 Corinthians 1:12-17

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.

15Because of this confidence, I planned to come to you first, so that you could have a second benefit,

16and to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and then come to you again from Macedonia and be helped by you on my journey to Judea.

17Now when I planned this, was I of two minds? Or what I plan, do I plan in a purely human way so that I say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
