2 Corinthians 4:1-3 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. ² But we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. ³ And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
