2 Corinthians 12:19

19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.

Ver. 19. That we excuse ourselves ] And so yield a fault.

I speak before God ] The witness of my innocence,Job 16:19; Job 16:19 ; Genesis 20:6 .

For your edifying ] While ye conceive no ill opinion of us, which, like muddy water in a vessel, might cause the most precious liquor of our doctrine to run over.
