But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”

2 Corinthians 1:18 in context

The verses around it, from 2 Corinthians 1.

14 as you have already understood us in part, so that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.

15 Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.

16 I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea.

17 When I planned this, did I do it carelessly? Or do I make my plans by human standards, so as to say “Yes, yes” when I really mean “No, no”?

18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.”

20 For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.

21 Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,

22 placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.
