2 Corinthians 4:1-5
New King James Version (NKJV)

The Light of Christ’s Gospel
4 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we
have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 But we
have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word
of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s
conscience in the sight of God. 3 But
even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 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. 5 For we do not preach
ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’
sake.
