But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
I swear on God's faithfulness, when we made you promises, we weren't being wishy-washy or saying one thing and meaning another.
Our promises to you are as solid as God's character.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century, the Apostle Paul wrote his second letter to the Corinthians to address misunderstandings and criticisms about his previous promises and visits, as some in the church were questioning his reliability due to changes in his plans. The Corinthians were dealing with false teachers who accused Paul of inconsistency, so he emphasized that his message and commitments were as steadfast as God's truth. This verse is part of Paul's defense of his integrity and the unchanging nature of the gospel he preached.
