2 Corinthians 1:17

Therefore when I was planning to do this, I did not do so without thinking about what I was doing, did I? ¹  Or do I make my plans ²  according to mere human standards ³  so that I would be saying ⁴  both “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?

Jud 9:4; Jer 23:32; Zep 3:4; Mt 5:37; Joh 8:15; 2Co 1:12; 2Co 1:18-20; 2Co 10:2,3; Ga 1:16; Ga 2:2; 1Th 2:18; Jas 5:12

¹ tn The Greek construction anticipates a negative answer. This is indicated in the translation by the ‘tag’ question “did I?” at the end of the sentence.

² tn Grk “the things that I plan, do I plan (them).”

³ tn Grk “according to the flesh.”

⁴ tn Grk “so that with me there should be.”
