For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the one we preached to you (me, Silas, and Timothy), isn't wishy-washy or inconsistent. With him, it's always a solid yes.
Jesus doesn't give mixed signals, he's reliable and his promises are rock solid.
