Trusting you, and believing that you trusted us, our original plan was to pay you a visit first, and give you a double “treat”.

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”.

And because of this · confidence, I was intending to come to you first, so that you might have a second benefit—
Confident of this, I had previously wanted to visit you so that you could benefit twice.

In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
That was what I wanted to do. Now then, did I act as if I did not know what I wanted? When I make my plans, do you think I make them like a man of this world? Do I say `Yes' when I mean to say `No'?
And in this trusting I would first come to you, that ye should have the second grace,
and in this confidence I was purposing to come unto you before, that a second favour ye might have,
