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 therefore was thus minded, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?

As this was my plan, where, pray, did I show any fickleness of purpose? Or do you think that my plans are formed on mere impulse, so that in the same breath I say ‘Yes’ and ‘No’?

Habe ich nun, indem ich mir dieses vornahm, mich etwa der Leichtfertigkeit bedient? Oder was ich mir vornehme, nehme ich mir das nach dem Fleische vor, auf daß bei mir das Ja ja und das Nein nein wäre?

Así que, pretendiendo esto, ¿usé quizá de liviandad? ó lo que pienso hacer, ¿piénsolo según la carne, para que haya en mí Sí y No?

Quando eu planejei isso, por acaso fiz de forma irresponsável? Ou o que eu planejo, planejo segundo a carne, para que eu diga sim e não ao mesmo tempo ?

Quando eu planejava isso, por acaso hesitava? Por acaso, planejo coisas de acordo com padrões humanos, de modo que digo: "sim, sim" e "não, não", ao mesmo tempo?
