Paul’s Change of Plans
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of (A)our conscience, that in [a]holiness and (B)godly sincerity, (C)not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you. 13 For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand (D)until the end, 14 just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason for boasting as you also are ours, in (E)the day of our Lord Jesus.

I hope you will understand completely— 14 as you have partially understood us—that we are your reason for pride,(E) as you are ours,(F) in the day of our[b] Lord Jesus.(G)
