For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, {even} by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

For all the promises of God in him {are} yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, {is} God;

Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
