Triumph in Christ

Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,

The Light of Christ’s Gospel

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

And we have sent with him the brother whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches,

while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men,

For we are not overextending ourselves (as though our authority did not extend to you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ;

to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s sphere of accomplishment.

For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!

Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
