I say

For God, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, how constantly I make mention of you,

But I call upon God [as] witness against my life, that [in order to] spare you, I did not come again to Corinth.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed {forever}, knows that I am not lying.

Have you been thinking all this time that we are defending ourselves to you? We are speaking in Christ before God, and all [these things], dear friends, [are] for your edification.

(Now [the things] which I am writing to you, behold, [I assure you] before God that I am not lying.)

For God [is] my witness, that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

{For never} did we come with a word of flattery, just as you know, nor with a pretext of greediness (God [is] witness),

for which I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am speaking the truth, [I am] not lying--a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

I testify solemnly before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels that you observe these [things] without prejudice, doing nothing according to partiality.

My conscience

who show the work of the law written on their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts [one] after another accusing or even defending them

The Spirit himself confirms to our spirit that we are children of God,

For our reason for boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, in holiness and purity of motive from God, not in merely human wisdom, but by the grace of God.

But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a faith without hypocrisy,

By this we know that we are of the truth and will convince our heart before him,
