18 God is my witness, I never prevaricated with you. 19 for what I, and Timothy, and Silvanus preached concerning Jesus Christ, the son of God, is not inconsistent, but invariably the same. 20 for all the promises of God do center in him, and are verifyed by him to the glory of God by our preaching. 21 now it is God who keeps you fix'd in the doctrine of Christ; who has appointed me, 22 and mark'd me with his seal, and given me the earnest of the spirit in my heart. 23 I call God to witness, and may I die if it is not true, that the reason of my not coming yet to Corinth, was to avoid using any severity towards you. 24 not that I would arbitrarily prescribe what you should believe, but rather encourage you to go on: for 'tis by faith you have stood. 2 Corinthians 1:18-24, Mace New Testament.
