2 Corinthians 1:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁵ Since I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a double favour;^{[a] 16} I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to come back to you from Macedonia and have you send me on to Judea. ¹⁷ Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans according to ordinary human standards,^[b] ready to say ‘Yes, yes’ and ‘No, no’ at the same time?
