20. For however many are the promises of God, their Yes is in him; therefore, the Amen from us also goes through him to God for glory.
21. But the one who gives us security with you in Christ and who anointed us is God;
22. he has also put his seal upon us and given the Spirit in our hearts as a first installment.
23. But I call upon God as witness, on my life, that it is to spare you that I have not yet gone to Corinth.
24. Not that we lord it over your faith; rather, we work together for your joy, for you stand firm in the faith.
