13. For we are not writing any other matters to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you shall understand, even to the end,
14. as also you have understood us in part, that we are your boast as you also are ours, in the day of the Master יהושע.
15. And relying on this I intended to come to you before, that you might twice receive a favour,
16. and to pass your way into Makedonia, and again from Makedonia come to you, and to be sent by you on my way to Yehuḏah.
17. Since I intended this, did I do it lightly? Or what I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yea, Yea, and No, No?
18. But Elohim is trustworthy, that our word to you was not Yea and No.
19. For the Son of Elohim, יהושע Messiah, who was proclaimed among you by us – by me, Sila, and Timothy – was not Yea and No, but in Him was Yea.
20. For as many promises as are of Elohim, in Him they are Yea, and in Him Amĕn, to the esteem of Elohim through us.
21. But He who establishes us with you in Messiah and has anointed us is Elohim,
22. who also sealed us, and gave the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
23. And I call Elohim as witness against my being, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.
24. Not that we rule over your belief, but we are fellow workers for your joy, for you stand by belief.
