13. For we write nothing else to you than what you read or understand. And I trust you will understand even to the end,
14. as you have understood us in part, that we are yours, boasting even as you are ours on the day of the Lord Jesus.
15. In this confidence I planned to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit:
16. to visit you while going to Macedonia, and to come again to you from Macedonia, and then be sent by you on my way to Judea.
17. Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do this lightly? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, so that I would tell you “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?
18. But as God is true, we did not tell you “Yes” and “No.”
