2 Corinthians 1:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ I was so sure of all this that I made plans to visit you first so you could ·be blessed twice [^Lhave a second grace]. ¹⁶ I planned to visit you on my way to Macedonia [^Cthe northern part of present-day Greece; Acts 19:21; 20:1, 2] and again on my way back [^Cthe visit anticipated in 1 Cor. 16:5]. I wanted to ·get help from you for my trip [^Lbe sent by you] to Judea. ¹⁷ [^LSo; Therefore] Do you think that I made these plans ·without really meaning it [lightly; with vacillation]? Or maybe you think I make plans ·as the world does [or using only human standards/reason; ^Laccording to the flesh], so that I say yes, yes and at the same time no, no.
