2 Corinthians 4:1-6 - Proclaiming Jesus Christ As Lord
1 So then, as I have this ministry because of God's mercy to me, I do not lose heart. 2 I have renounced the hidden things of shame, not spending my life in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but setting forth the truth openly, I strive to commend myself to every man's conscience as in the sight of God. 3 But even if my gospel, too, is "veiled," it is among those who are on the way to perish that it is "veiled." 4 Among them the god of this age has blinded the understanding of the unbelieving so that the sunshine of the gospel of God, should not dawn upon them. 5 It is not myself that I proclaim, but Christ Jesus as Master, and myself that I proclaim, and myself your slave for Jesus' sake. 6 For God who said, "Out of darkness light shall shine," is he who has shone in my heart, that the sunrise of the knowledge of God may shine forth in the face of Christ.
