Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God,
we do not lose heart.
But we have renounced disgraceful,
underhanded ways.
We refuse to practice cunning
or to tamper with God’s word,
but by the open statement of the truth
we would commend ourselves
to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.
And even if our gospel is veiled,
it is veiled to those who are perishing.
In their case the god of this world
has blinded the minds of the unbelievers,
to keep them from seeing
the light of the gospel
of the glory of Christ,
who is the image of God.
For what we proclaim is not ourselves,
but Jesus Christ as Lord,
with ourselves as your servants f
or Jesus’ sake.
For God, who said,
“Let light shine out of darkness,”
has shone in our hearts
to give the light
of the knowledge of the glory
of God
in the face of Jesus Christ.
