Verse 16.— For we have not followed cunningly devised fables. The gospel of Christ is no fable. About it there is no myth. There is no mistake or room for doubt. When we made known. That is, when we apostles proclaimed the power and coming of the Lord, we made no mistake. We were eye­witnesses. Being eye-witnesses, we were qualified to testify, and our qualifications are unquestioned by all enlightened jurisprudence.
