Nam gloria nostra hæc est, testimonium conscientiæ nostræ, quod in simplicitate cordis et sinceritate Dei: et non in sapientia carnali, sed in gratia Dei conversati sumus 13 in hoc mundo: abundantius autem ad vos.

And in this confidence I would first have come to you, that you might have a second grace: 16 and by you pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia come to you, and of you be brought on my way into Jewry. 17 Whereas, then, I was thus minded, did I use lightness? Or the things that I mind, do with me, It is, and It is not?' 1s But God is I mind according to the flesh, that there be faithful, because our preaching which was to you, there is not in it, It is, and, It is not.
