When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

我有此意，岂是反复不定吗？我所起的意，岂是从情欲起的，叫我忽是忽非吗？

我有此意，难道是反覆不定吗？难道我的意愿是从私欲起的，以致我忽是忽非吗？

我有此意，难道是反覆不定吗？难道我的意愿是从私欲起的，以致我忽是忽非吗？

我定了这计划，难道会反复无常吗？难道我是意气用事，出尔反尔吗？

我这样决定，难道是反覆不定吗？我所决定的，难道是体贴肉体而定，使我忽是忽非吗？

那么，我这样打算，难道就是轻率行事吗？难道我所计划的，是顺着肉体的计划，以致在我忽是忽非吗？

我有此意，豈是反覆不定嗎？我所起的意，豈是從情慾起的，叫我忽是忽非嗎？

我有此意，難道是反覆不定嗎？難道我的意願是從私慾起的，以致我忽是忽非嗎？

我有此意，難道是反覆不定嗎？難道我的意願是從私慾起的，以致我忽是忽非嗎？

我定了這計劃，難道會反覆無常嗎？難道我是意氣用事，出爾反爾嗎？

我這樣決定，難道是反覆不定嗎？我所決定的，難道是體貼肉體而定，使我忽是忽非嗎？

那麼我既有了這個意思，難道還有輕浮的態度麼？還是我所定的意是按着肉體而定意，以致在我也有忽是忽非麼？

那麼，我這樣打算，難道就是輕率行事嗎？難道我所計劃的，是順著肉體的計劃，以致在我忽是忽非嗎？

我斯意豈輕躁乎、我所擬豈狥情而有是是非非乎、

我有斯意、豈浮而不實乎、豈狥私有今是後非乎、

我有此意、豈盡浮而不實乎、或我所定之意、豈循私欲而定、致在我有今是後非乎、

當吾之存此意念也、決非以輕率出之、亦非徇於私情而定、其後又任意變更計劃、忽爾非其所是、是其所非也。

Was I fickle when I intended to do this? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say both“ Yes, yes” and“ No, no”?

When I planned all this, was I ready to change my mind for no good reason? No. I don’t make my plans the way the world makes theirs. In the same breath the world says both,“ Yes! Yes!” and“ No! No!”

Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans according to the flesh, ready to say“ Yes, yes” and“ No, no” at the same time?

You may be asking why I changed my plan. Do you think I make my plans carelessly? Do you think I am like people of the world who say“ Yes” when they really mean“ No”?

Now when I planned this, was I of two minds? Or what I plan, do I plan in a purely human way so that I say“ Yes, yes” and“ No, no” at the same time?

Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I decide, do I decide according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time?

Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?

When I therefore was thus minded, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?

So when I planned this, was I irresponsible? Or what I plan, do I plan in a purely human way so that I say“ Yes, yes” and“ No, no” simultaneously?

Therefore when I was planning to do this, I did not do so without thinking about what I was doing, did I? Or do I make my plans according to mere human standards so that I would be saying both“ Yes, yes” and“ No, no” at the same time?

When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the“ Yes, yes” and the“ No, no?”

But I beseech[ you], that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

But[ as] God[ is] true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us,[ even] by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.For all the promises of God in him[ are] yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

And they gave him threescore and ten[ pieces] of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.

And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.

Her prophets[ are] light[ and] treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.

Behold, I[ am] against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.

Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and[ your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
