2 Corinthians 1:12-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² For our glory is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity of heart and sincerity of God, and not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conversed in this world: and more abundantly towards you.

¹³ For we write no other things to you than what you have read and known. And I hope that you shall know unto the end:

¹⁴ As also you have known us in part, that we are your glory, as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you before, that you might have a second grace:

¹⁶ And to pass by you into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be brought on my way towards Judea.

¹⁷ Whereas then I was thus minded, did I use lightness? Or, the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that there should be with me, It is, and It is not?

¹⁸ But God is faithful, for our preaching which was to you, was not, It is, and It is not.

¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ who was preached among you by us, by me, and Sylvanus, and Timothy, was not, It is and It is not, but, It is, was in him.

²⁰ For all the promises of God are in him, It is; therefore also by him, amen to God, unto our glory.
