15Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.
16I 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.
17When 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”?
18But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
— 2 Corinthians 1:15-18
