rkjnt 2Corinthians:1:12-2:4
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boast is in this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and still more toward you.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we write nothing to you, except what you can read and understand; and I trust you shall understand fully;
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:14 @ Just as also you have understood us in part and recognized that you can be proud of us, even as we can be proud of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence I intended to come to you first, that you might benefit twice;
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:16 @ I planned to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and again visit you when I returned from Macedonia, and to be helped by you on my way to Judaea.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:17 @ When I planned this, did I do it lightly? or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that I should say yes, yes when I may mean no, no?
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:18 @ But as God is true, our word to you was not yes and no.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by myself and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yes and no, but in him is always yes.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For as many as are the promises of God, in him they are yes. And so our Amen is through him, to the glory of God.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God;
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:22 @ Who has also sealed us, and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:23 @ I call God as a witness upon my soul, that it was to spare you that I did not come to Corinth.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy: for in your faith you stand firm.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:2:1 @ But I determined that I would not make another painful visit to you.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I make you sorrowful, who will there be to make me glad, but the same one I made sorrowful?
rkjnt@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote this same thing to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; for I had confidence in all of you, that my joy would be the joy of all of you.
rkjnt@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart, with many tears; not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the abundant love which I have for you.
