2 Corinthians 1:13-18

English Standard Version

¹³ For we are not writing to you anything other than what you read and understand and I hope you will fully understand— ¹⁴ just as you did ^(A)partially understand us—that ^(B)on the day of our Lord Jesus ^(C)you will boast of us as ^(D)we will boast of you.

¹⁵ Because I was sure of this, ^(E)I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have ^(F)a second ^(G)experience of grace. ¹⁶ I wanted to visit you ^(H)on my way to Macedonia, and to come back to you from Macedonia and have you send me on my way to Judea. ¹⁷ Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans ^(I)according to the flesh, ready to say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time? ¹⁸ As surely as ^(J)God is faithful, ^(K)our word to you has not been Yes and No.
