8 For ^oGod is my witness, ^phow I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

5 ^sFor we never came with words of flattery,¹ as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—^tGod is witness.

10 You are witnesses, and ^dGod also, ^ehow holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers.

God’s Sovereign Choice

1 ^aI am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit—

23 But ^qI call God to witness against me—it was ^rto spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth.

10 ^gAs the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine ^hwill not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.

31 ^sThe God and Father of the Lord Jesus, ^the who is blessed forever, ^uknows that I am not lying.
