rsv 2Corinthians:1:15-24
rsv@2Corinthians:1:15 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a double pleasure;
rsv@2Corinthians:1:16 @ I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedo'nia, and to come back to you from Macedo'nia and have you send me on my way to Judea.
rsv@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans like a worldly man, ready to say Yes and No at once?
rsv@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.
rsv@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we preached among you, Silva'nus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No; but in him it is always Yes.
rsv@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why we utter the Amen through him, to the glory of God.
rsv@2Corinthians:1:21 @ But it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has commissioned us;
rsv@2Corinthians:1:22 @ he has put his seal upon us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
rsv@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But I call God to witness against me--it was to spare you that I refrained from coming to Corinth.
rsv@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we lord it over your faith; we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your faith.
