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.

A Visit Postponed
15 Because of this confidence, I planned to come to you first,(A) so that you could have a second benefit,[a] 16 and to visit you on my way to Macedonia,(B) and then come to you again from Macedonia and be helped by you(C) on my journey(D) to Judea.(E) 17 Now when I planned this, was I of two minds? Or what I plan, do I plan in a purely human[b](F) way so that I say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time? 18 As God is faithful,(G) our message to you is not “Yes and no.” 19 For the Son of God,(H) Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you—Silvanus,[c](I) Timothy, and I—did not become “Yes and no.” On the contrary, in him it is always “Yes.”(J) 20 For every one of God’s promises(K) is “Yes” in him. Therefore, through him we also say “Amen”(L) to the glory of God.(M) 21 Now it is God who strengthens us together with you in Christ, and who has anointed(N) us. 22 He has also put his seal on us and given us the Spirit in our hearts(O) as a down payment.(P)
