The Change in Paul’s Plans

12 This is what we are proud of, and I can say with all my heart that it is true: In all the things we have done in the world, we have done everything with an honest[a] and pure heart from God. And this is even more true in what we have done with you. We did this by God’s grace, not by the kind of wisdom the world has. 13 For we write to you only what you can read and understand. And I hope that 14 as you have understood some things about us, you may come to know everything about us. Then you can be proud of us, as we will be proud of you on the day our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.
