2 Corinthians 4:1-6 - Proclaiming Jesus Christ As Lord

¹ Therefore since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not faint. ² But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the Word of God, but by the revelation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. ³ But also if our gospel is hidden, it is hidden to those being lost, ⁴ in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving ones, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ (who is the image of God) should not dawn on them. ⁵ For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. ⁶ For it is God who said, "Out of darkness Light shall shine;" who shone in our hearts to give the brightness of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
