The Gospel of the Glory of Christ

4 Therefore, since we have this ^(A)ministry, as we ^(B)received mercy, we ^(C)do not lose heart, ² but we have renounced the ^(D)hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness or ^(E)adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth ^(F)commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. ³ And even if our ^(G)gospel is ^(H)veiled, it is veiled ^[a]to ^(I)those who are perishing, ⁴ in whose case ^(J)the god of ^(K)this age has ^(L)blinded the minds of the unbelieving ^[b]so that they might not see the ^(M)light of the gospel of the ^(N)glory of Christ, who is the ^(O)image of God. ⁵ For we ^(P)do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves ^[c]for the sake of Jesus. ⁶ For God, who said, “^(Q)Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has ^(R)shone in our hearts to give the ^(S)Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
