But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”

As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.

As surely as God is faithful, our word to you does not waver between “Yes” and “No.”

As God is faithful,  our message to you is not “Yes and no.”

But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

But as God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No.

Are you now going to accuse me of flip-flopping with my promises because it didn’t work out? Do you think I talk out of both sides of my mouth—a glib yes one moment, a glib no the next? Well, you’re wrong. I try to be as true to my word as God is to his. Our word to you wasn’t a careless yes canceled by an indifferent no. How could it be? When Silas and Timothy and I proclaimed the Son of God among you, did you pick up on any yes-and-no, on-again, off-again waffling? Wasn’t it a clean, strong Yes?

But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.

But [as surely as] God is faithful and means what He says, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No” [at the same time].

But as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
