2 Corinthians 4:1-3

International Standard Version

Treasure in Clay Jars

4 Therefore, since we have this ministry through the mercy shown to us, we do not get discouraged. ² Instead, we have renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not use trickery or pervert God’s word. By clear statements of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience before God.

³ So if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are dying.^[a]
