2 Corinthians 4:1-2 Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this ministry, we do not lose heart.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this ministry, we do not lose heart. ² Instead, we have renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not practice deceit, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by open proclamation of the truth, we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
