18 Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.

Footnotes 2

  • [a]. * i.e. Silas, Acts 18.5.
  • [b]. The apostle here changes from the aorist 'did not become' to the perfect tense of the same verb, translated 'is.' He is not speaking of the character of his preaching, but declaring that the verification of all divine truth is in the Person of Christ.
