I say

For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the preaching of the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly I make mention of you,

But I call God as witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

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

All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

(Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.)

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

For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness—

For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.

My conscience

in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

For our proud confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

But the goal of our

instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him
