2 Corinthians 4:1-4 Because of this (having this ministry), in as much as we received mercy, we do not become discouraged.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Because of this (having this ministry), in as much as we received mercy, we do not become discouraged. ² But we have renounced the covert things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor misrepresenting the word of God, but by the disclosure of the truth, commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God. ³ But even if our good news is concealed, it is concealed in those who are perishing, ⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, in order for the light of the good news of the glory of the Christ (who is a likeness of God) not to shine forth to them.
