2 Corinthians 1:22

The Holy SpiritIdentity and self-worthEternal lifeHope

20 For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.

21 Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,

placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.

23 I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.
