2 Corinthians 1:15-22
World English Bible
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit, 16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea. 17 When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?” 18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.” 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.” 20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, 22 who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

2 Corinthians 1:15-22
New American Standard Bible
15 In this confidence I intended at first to (A)come to you, so that you might [a]twice receive a [b](B)blessing; 16 [c]that is, to (C)pass [d]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, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I decide, do I decide (F)according to the flesh, so that with me there will be [e]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, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us—by me and (J)Silvanus and (K)Timothy—was not yes and no, but has been yes (L)in Him. 20 For (M)as many as the promises of God are, (N)in Him they are yes; therefore through Him also 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 us the Spirit in our hearts as a [f]pledge.
