Paul’s Change of Plans

12 For our boast is this, the testimony of our ^qconscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity¹ and godly ^rsincerity, not by ^searthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.

17 For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of ^usincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
