2 Corinthians 1:23 CPDV

²¹  Now the One who confirms us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us, is God.

²²  And he has sealed us, and he has placed the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

²³  But I call God as a witness to my soul, that I was lenient with you, in that I did not return to Corinth:

²⁴  not because we have dominion over your faith, but because we are assistants of your joy. For by faith you stand.
