2 Corinthians 1:12-17

12For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before 1God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in 2God's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.

13For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,

14even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as ye [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

15And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;

16and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.

17Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?
