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?

2 Corinthians 1:15-17
New International Version
15 Because I was confident of this, I wanted to visit you(A) first so that you might benefit twice.(B) 16 I wanted to visit you on my way(C) to Macedonia(D) and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way(E) to Judea.(F) 17 Was I fickle when I intended to do this? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner(G) so that in the same breath I say both “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?
