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

But even if our good-news is concealed, it is concealed in those who are perishing,

in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, in order for the light of the good-news of the glory of the Christ (who is a likeness of God) not to shine forth to them.

And we sent along with him the brother whose praise in the good-news is throughout all the congregations.

through the evidence of this service, glorifying God at the subjection of your confession toward the good-news of the Christ, and at the generosity of the participation, for them and for all,

For it is not as not reaching for you. We overextend ourselves. For we even reached as far as you in the good-news of the Christ,

in order to preach the good-news beyond you, not to boast in another measure, in things prepared.

For indeed if a man who comes, preaches another Jesus whom we did not preach, or ye receive another spirit that ye did not receive, or another good-news that ye did not accept, ye well tolerated it.

Or did I commit a sin lowering myself so that ye might be lifted up, because I preached to you the good-news of God freely?
