Therefore, [when I] was wanting [to do] this, perhaps then was I making use of vacillation? Or was I deciding what I was deciding according to the flesh, in order that with me my "yes" may be "yes" and my "no" [may be] "no" [at the same time]?

Therefore, [because we] have such a hope, we use much boldness,

and not as Moses used to place a veil over his face, in order that the sons of Israel would not stare at the end of what was transitory.
