2 Corinthians 1:15-22
Legacy Standard Bible
15 And in this confidence I intended at first to (A)come to you, so that you might receive [a](B)grace twice; 16 [b]that is, to (C)pass [c]your way into (D)Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be (E)helped on my journey to Judea. 17 Therefore, was I vacillating when I intended to do this? 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. Therefore also through Him is (O)our Amen to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who (P)establishes us with you in Christ and (Q)anointed us is God, 22 who also (R)sealed us and (S)gave the [d]pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

2 Corinthians 1:15-22
American Standard Version
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come first unto you, that ye might have a second [a]benefit; 16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judaea. 17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay? 18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you [b]by us, even [c]by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea. 20 For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us. 21 Now he that establisheth us with you [d]in Christ, and anointed us, is God; 22 [e]who also sealed us, and gave us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
