In 2 Corinthians 1:17, the dative singular feminine form occurs in the denial of acting this way while planning; the APB renders the clause, "I did not act in lightness," before contrasting planning according to the flesh and inconsistent "yes yes and no no."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Corinthians 1:17, the APB presents the clause as "I did not act in lightness." This rendering confirms the clause's overall presentation rather than isolating every element of the Greek.
