2 Corinthians 1:17 in Context — 2 Corinthians 1

15 Y con esta confianza quise primero ir á vosotros, para que tuvieseis una segunda gracia;

16 Y por vosotros pasar á Macedonia, y de Macedonia venir otra vez á vosotros, y ser vuelto de vosotros á Judea.

18 Antes, Dios fiel [sabe] que nuestra palabra para con vosotros no es Sí y No.

19 Porque el Hijo de Dios, Jesucristo, que por nosotros ha sido entre vosotros predicado, por mí y Silvano y Timoteo, no ha sido Sí y No; mas ha sido Sí en él.
