2 Corinthians 1:21-24 ▼

21 But it is God who establishes us together with you in Christ and who anointed us,

22 who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a down payment.

23 Now I appeal to God as my witness, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

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