Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?

Now God is faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.

For whatever promises of God there are, in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.

And I give my opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.

For I know your readiness, which I boast of as respects you to Macedonians, that Achaia is prepared since a year ago, and the zeal reported of you has stimulated the mass of the brethren.
