2 Corinthians 1:18-22

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸God can be trusted, and so can I, when I say our answer to you has always been “Yes” and never “No.” ¹⁹^(A) This is because Jesus Christ the Son of God is always “Yes” and never “No.” And he is the one Silas,^[a] Timothy, and I told you about.

²⁰Christ says “Yes” to all God's promises. This is why we have Christ to say “Amen”^[b] for us to the glory of God. ²¹And so God makes it possible for you and us to stand firmly together with Christ. God is also the one who chose us ²²and put his Spirit in our hearts to show that we belong only to him.
