2 Corinthians 1:18-22

Paul's Change of Plans

¹⁸ As surely as _g God is faithful, _h our word to you has not been Yes and No. ¹⁹ For _i the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, _j Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but _k in him it is always Yes. ²⁰ For _l all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our _m Amen to God for his glory. ²¹ And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and _n has anointed us, ²² and who has also _o put his seal on us and _p given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. ₁
