2 Corinthians 1:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 [a]For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly [b]pureness, and not in fleshly wisdom, but by the [c]grace of God we have had our conversation in the world, and most of all to youwards.
13 For we write [d]none other things unto you, than that ye read or else that ye acknowledge, and I trust ye shall acknowledge unto the [e]end.
14 Even as ye have acknowledged us partly, that we are your [f]rejoicing, even as ye are ours, in the [g]day of our Lord Jesus.
