Or what I purpose, do I purpose (F)according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time? 18 But as (G)God is faithful, (H)our word to you is not yes and no. 19 For (I)the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and (J)Silvanus and (K)Timothy—was not yes and no, but has become yes (L)in Him. 20 For (M)as many as are the promises of God, (N)in Him they are yes.
