- Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.
- Rather, 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.
- And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
- The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
- For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

- Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,
- but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
- And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
- in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
- For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake.
