2 Corinthians

  1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, letters of commendation to you or commendation from you? 2 You are our letter written in our hearts, known and read by all men. 3 Clearly you are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink … Continue reading »

  1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not faint. 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 before God. 3 But also … Continue reading »
