17So when I was planning to do this, I didn’t do so lightly, did I? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh—so it might be with me “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time? 18But as God is faithful, our message to you is not both “Yes” and “No.” For Ben-Elohim—Yeshua the Messiah, who was proclaimed among you by us, by myself and Silvanus and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No.” Rather, in Him it has always been “Yes.” 20For in Him all the promises of God are “Yes.” Therefore also through Him is the “Amen” by us, to the glory of God. 21Now it is God who establishes us with you in Messiah.

Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 1:19
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19For the Son of God, etc. - If I could have changed my purpose through carnal or secular interests then I must have had the same interest in view when I first preached the Gospel to you, with Silvanus and Timotheus. But did not the whole of our conduct prove that we neither had, nor could have such interest in view?Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19For the Son of God - In this verse, and the following, Paul states that he felt himself bound to maintain the strictest veracity for two reasons; the one, that Jesus Christ always evinced the strictest veracity 2 Corinthians 1:19; the other, God was always true to all the promises that He made 2 Corinthians 1:20; and as he felt himself to be the servant of the Saviour and of God, he was bound by the most sacred obligations also to maintain a character…Read the comment

He is called "the Son of God" to show the impossibility of change in One who is co-equal with God himself (compare 1Sa 15:29; Mal 3:6). by me ... Silvanus and Timotheus--The Son of God, though preached by different preachers, was one and the same, unchangeable.
