2 Corinthians 1:18-24

18But as 1God is faithful, 2our word to you is not yes and no. 19For 3the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us--by me and 4Silvanus and 5Timothy--was not yes and no, but is yes 6in Him. 20For 7as many as are the promises of God, 8in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is 9our Amen to the glory of God through us. 21Now He who 10establishes us with you in Christ and 11anointed us is God, 22who also 12sealed us and 13gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a 14pledge.

23But 15I call God as witness 16to my soul, that 17to spare you I did not come again to 18Corinth. 24Not that we 19lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are 20standing firm.
