2 Corinthians 1:15-22
1599 Geneva Bible
15 And in this confidence was I minded first to come unto you, that ye might have had a [a]double grace,
16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia, unto you, and to be led forth toward Judea of you.
17 [b]When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or mind I those things which I mind, according to the [c]flesh, that with me should be, [d]Yea, yea, and Nay, nay?
18 [e]Yea, God is [f]faithful, that our word toward you, was not Yea, and Nay?
19 [g]For the Son of God Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, that is, by me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, [h]was not Yea, and Nay: but in [i]him it was Yea.
20 [j]For all the promises of God in him are Yea, and are in [k]him Amen, unto the glory of God through [l]us.
21 [m]And it is God which established us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us.
22 Who hath also sealed us, and hath given the [n]earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
