I am speaking the truth; I belong to Christ and I do not lie. My conscience, ruled by the Holy Spirit, also assures me that I am not lying

By Christ's truth in me, I promise that this boast of mine will not be silenced anywhere in all of Achaia.

Do I say this because I don't love you? God knows I love you!

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus---blessed be his name forever!---knows that I am not lying.
