RKJNT(i)
1 Therefore, since we have this ministry by God's mercy, we do not loose heart;
2 But we have renounced the hidden, shameful things, and do not walk in craftiness, nor handle the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
4 For the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe, lest they should see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God.
