‘When I therefore was so 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 yes, yes, and the no, no?'
Was then his failure to visit them in the way that he had promised due to ‘the fickleness' (i.e. ‘the fickleness of which I am accused')? Or was it because he made his decisions from his own selfish point of view (according to the flesh)? Is he the kind of person who keeps changing his mind saying ‘yes, yes' and then ‘no, no'? The answer will now be a resounding ‘no'.
