13. For we write none other things unto you, than what you read or acknowledge; and I trust you shall acknowledge even to the end;
14. As also you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as you also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15. And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that you might have a second benefit;
16. And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be sent on my way toward Judea.
17. When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
18. But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
