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?

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?

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?”

I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world.For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. (niv)

All you need to say is simply‘ Yes’ or‘ No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. (niv)

to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being. (niv)

But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not“ Yes” and“ No.”For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us— by me and Silas and Timothy— was not“ Yes” and“ No,” but in him it has always been“ Yes.”For no matter how many promises God has made, they are“ Yes” in Christ. And so through him the“ Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. (niv)

They gave him seventy shekels of silver from the temple of Baal-Berith, and Abimelek used it to hire reckless scoundrels, who became his followers. (niv)

I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain. (niv)

Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God’s grace. (niv)

For we wanted to come to you— certainly I, Paul, did, again and again— but Satan blocked our way. (niv)

Her prophets are unprincipled; they are treacherous people. Her priests profane the sanctuary and do violence to the law. (niv)

Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” declares the Lord.“ They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least,” declares the Lord. (niv)

You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one. (niv)

Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear— not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple“ Yes” or“ No.” Otherwise you will be condemned. (niv)
