2 Corinthians 1:12-14 - Paul's Clear Conscience

¹² My proud boast is the testimony of my conscience that holiness and godly sincerity, not worldly cunning but the grace of God, have marked my conduct in the outside world and in particular my relations with you. ¹³ You don't have to read between the lines of my letters; you can understand them. Yes, I trust you will understand the full meaning of my letters ¹⁴ as you have partly understood the meaning of my life, namely that I am your source of pride (as you are mine) on the Day of our Lord Jesus.
