But as God is true, our word toward you was not “yea” and “nay.”
But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay.
But [as surely as] God is faithful and means what He says, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No” [at the same time].
As surely as God is trustworthy and faithful and means what He says, our speech and message to you have not been Yes [that might mean] No.
But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
As God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes and no.”
As God is faithful, our message to you is not ‘Yes and no’.
But as God is faithful, our message to you isn’t both yes and no.
As surely as God is trustworthy, we don’t say “Yes” when we mean “No.”
God can be trusted, and so can I, when I say our answer to you has always been “Yes” and never “No.”
Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.
But as God is faithful, our message to you is not yes and no.
But God is faithful, for our preaching which was to you, was not, It is, and It is not.
But if you can believe God, then you can believe that what we tell you is never both yes and no.
God always does what he says he will do. In the same way, my promise to you was not both ‘Yes’ and ‘No’.
As surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.
As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.
But ·since you can believe God [L God is trustworthy/faithful], you can believe that what we tell you is never both yes and no.
Yea, God is faithful, that our word toward you, was not Yea, and Nay?
You can depend on God. Our message to you isn’t false; it’s true.
As surely as God speaks the truth, my promise to you was not a “Yes” and a “No.”
As God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes and no.”
But since you can believe God, then you can believe that what we tell you is never both “Yes” and “No.”
As certainly as God is faithful, we haven’t talked to you with mixed messages like that.
Trusting you, and believing that you trusted us, our original plan was to pay you a visit first, and give you a double “treat”. We meant to come here to Macedonia after first visiting you, and then to visit you again on leaving here. You could thus have helped us on our way towards Judea. Because we had to change this plan, does it mean that we are fickle? Do you think I plan with my tongue in my cheek, saying “yes” and meaning “no”? We solemnly assure you that as certainly as God is faithful so we have never given you a message meaning “yes” and “no”.
But God is faithful that our word toward you has not been yes and no.
But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.
But God is faithful, so that our word to you is not “yes” and “no.”
Never! As surely as God is true, I am not that sort of person. My yes means yes.
Are you now going to accuse me of flip-flopping with my promises because it didn’t work out? Do you think I talk out of both sides of my mouth—a glib yes one moment, a glib no the next? Well, you’re wrong. I try to be as true to my word as God is to his. Our word to you wasn’t a careless yes canceled by an indifferent no. How could it be? When Silas and Timothy and I proclaimed the Son of God among you, did you pick up on any yes-and-no, on-again, off-again waffling? Wasn’t it a clean, strong Yes?
But as God is true, we did not tell you “Yes” and “No.”
But as surely as God is trustworthy, · · our word · to you has not been “Yes” and “No.”
You can depend on God. Our message to you isn’t false; it’s true.
As God is faithful, our word to you is not “yes” and “no.”
But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.
But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.
As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been “Yes” and “No.”
But since you can believe God, you can believe that what we tell you is never both yes and no.
But as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
But just as sure as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not ‘Yes’ and ‘No’.
But as God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No.
As God is true, my yes means yes. I am not the kind of person who says one thing and means another.
As surely as God is faithful, our word to you does not waver between “Yes” and “No.”
God is faithful. For our preaching to you was not yea and nay.
As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been ‘Yes and No.’
As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been ‘Yes and No.’
As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been “Yes and No.”
As surely as God is faithful, our word to you is not “Yes and No.”
God can bear me faithful witness that our word to you was not a mixture of Yes and No.
Al emunat Hashem (in the faithfulness of G-d), our dvar to you has not been "Ken" and "Lo."
But God is faithful. So that our word toward you was not “Yes”, and “No”.
As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.
As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.
But as God is faithful, our message to you is not both “Yes” and “No.”
Because our God is always faithful to His promises, our word to you was not both “yes” and “no”—“Yes, I’ll come,” and then, “No, I’ve changed my mind.”
But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
To the many promises God has made Christ can say `Yes'. He can make them all come true. So then, it is because of Christ that we can say, `Yes, it is so!' when we praise God.
But God is true, for our word that was at you, is and is not, is not therein, but is is in it.
and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became not Yes and No,
