1. Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.
2. But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.
3. But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;
4. in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine forth for them.
