Paul’s Change of Plans

12 For our boast is this, ^uthe testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity¹ and ^vgodly sincerity, ^wnot by earthly 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 sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
