19. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us — by me and Silvanus and Timothy — did not become “Yes and no”; on the contrary, a final “Yes” has come in Him.
20. For every one of God’s promises is “Yes” in Him. Therefore, the “Amen” is also spoken through Him by us for God’s glory.
21. Now it is God who strengthens us, with you, in Christ and has anointed us.
22. He has also sealed us and given us the Spirit as a down payment in our hearts.
23. I call on God as a witness, on my life, that it was to spare you that I did not come to Corinth.
24. I do not mean that we have control of your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy, because you stand by faith.
