I say

For God, whom I serve with my spirit in telling the good news about His Son, is my witness that I constantly mention you,

I call on God as a witness, on my life, that it was to spare you that I did not come to Corinth.

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

You have thought all along that we were defending ourselves to you. No, in the sight of God we are speaking in Christ, and everything, dear friends, is for building you up.

Now I am not lying in what I write to you. God is my witness.

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

For we never used flattering speech, as you know, or had greedy motives—God is our witness—

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

I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing out of favoritism.

Now the goal of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

This is how we will know we belong to the truth and will convince our conscience in His presence,
