For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.

and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away.

Now in a like exchange—I speak as to children—open wide to us also.

Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
