2 Corinthians 4:1-4
1ThereforeG1223G3778, since we haveG2192 thisG3778 1ministryG1248, as we 2receivedG1653 mercyG1653, we 3do not loseG1457 heartG1457,
2but we have renouncedG550 the 4thingsG2927 hiddenG2927 because of shameG152, not walkingG4043 in trickeryG3834 norG3366 5distortingG1389 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, but by the openG5321 proclamationG5321 of the truthG225 6commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 to everyG3956 person’sG444 conscienceG4893 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316.
3And evenG2532 ifG1487 our 7gospelG2098 is 8veiledG2572, it is veiledG2572 9to 10thoseG3588 who are perishingG622,
4in whoseG3739 caseG1722 11the godG2316 of 12thisG3778 13worldG165 has 14blindedG5186 the mindsG3540 of the unbelievingG571 soG1519 thatG1519 15they will not seeG826 the 16lightG5462 of the gospelG2098 of the 17gloryG1391 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 is the 18imageG1504 of GodG2316.
