2 Corinthians 1:18

As certainly as God is faithful, our language to you is not now "Yes" and now "No."

Weymouth NT (1912)

In The King James Version

But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

In Context

17Did I display any vacillation or caprice in this? Or the purposes which I form--do I form them on worldly principles, now crying "Yes, yes," and now "No, no"?

19For Jesus Christ the Son of God--He who was proclaimed among you by us, that is by Silas and Timothy and myself--did not show Himself a waverer between "Yes" and "No." But it was and always is "Yes" with Him.
