2 Corinthians 1:15-18

Paul's Change of Plans

¹⁵ Because I was sure of this, _b I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have _c a second _d experience of grace. ¹⁶ I wanted to visit you _e 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 _f according to the flesh, ready to say "Yes, yes" and "No, no" at the same time? ¹⁸ As surely as _g God is faithful, _h our word to you has not been Yes and No.
