And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord,

and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,

in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

That is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of peace.

And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia;

and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good news is through all the assemblies,

through the proof of this ministration glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and for the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all,

for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves overmuch, for even unto you did we come in the good news of the Christ,

in the places beyond you to proclaim good news, not in another's line in regard to the things made ready, to boast;

for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept -- well were ye bearing it,

The sin did I do -- myself humbling that ye might be exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you?
