2 Corinthians 1:21-24 ▼

21 Now it is God who strengthens us together with you in Christ, and who has anointed us.

22 He has also put his seal on us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a down payment.

23 I call on God as a witness, on my life, that it was to spare you that I did not come to Corinth.

24 I do not mean that we lord it over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy, because you stand firm in your faith.
