2 Corinthians 1:21-24 ▼

21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

22 who also sealed us and gave the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

23 But I call God as witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm.
