2 Corinthians 4:1-6

Since it was GOD, in his mercy, who gave us this ministry, we refuse to give up. In fact, we renounce secret, shameful ways; we are not deceitful; and we do not distort the word of GOD. On the contrary, by plainly setting forth the truth, we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of GOD. And if our gospel is veiled to anyone, it is to those who are perishing. Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they remain unenlightened of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of GOD. We do not preach ourselves, but JESUS CHRIST as LORD, and ourselves as your servants because of JESUS. And GOD, who said, "Out of darkness, let there be light," made his light shine in our hearts to enlighten us of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of JESUS CHRIST.
