2 CORINTHIANS 1:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?”
When I planned this, did I do so lightly? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner (kata sarkas, according to the flesh), so that in the same breath I say, 'Yes, yes' and 'No, no'? — the critics apparently accused Paul of vacillation and worldly pragmatism. Kata sarkas suggests decisions driven by human desire and expediency rather than Spirit-guidance. Paul denies such inconsistency.
