mnt - 2Corinthians:1:12-2:4

mnt@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For this is my proud boast, the testimony of my conscience, that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God, that I have conducted myself in the world, and above all in my relations with you.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For I am writing to you nothing different from what you read aloud and very well recognize, and I hope will continue to recognize to the very end,

mnt@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as some indeed did recognize in part at last, that I am your cause of boasting, just as you will be mine on the Day of Jesus our Lord.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence I intended to visit you, before going elsewhere, that you might have a pleasure twice over.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:16 @ I intended to go by you into Macedonia, and to come again to you from Macedonia, and by you to be sent forward on my way to Judea.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:17 @ In purposing this did I display "caprice"? Or what I purpose do I purpose in a worldly way,so that it may mean either "Yes, yes," or "No, no"?

mnt@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As God is faithful, my message to you is not now "Yes," now "No."

mnt@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For Jesus Christ, Son of God, who was proclaimed among you by us, that is, by Silvanus and Timothy and me, was not wavering between "Yes" and "No," but in him is the everlasting "Yes."

mnt@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him let the Amen be said by our voices to the glory of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:21 @ And he who has established me with you in the Anointed One, and has anointed me, is God.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:22 @ He has also set his seal upon me, and given me the pledge of his Spirit in my heart.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But for my part I call God to witness, as my soul shall answer for it, that it was to spare you that I came not to Corinth

mnt@2Corinthians:1:24 @ (not that I am attempting to lord it over your faith, but rather to work with you for your happiness); for your faith is stedfast.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:1 @ I decided that I would not visit you again in grief;

mnt@2Corinthians:2:2 @ for if I cause you grief, who is there to cause me joy except those whom I have grieved?

mnt@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And for this very reason I wrote you, that I might not come only to be grieved by those who ought to give me joy; and because I trusted in you all, that my joy is the joy of all of you.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart, through many tears; not to pain you, but to convince you of my love, my abundant love for you.
