2 Corinthians 4:1

---

← 2 Corinthians 3:18	2 Corinthians 4:1 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 4:2 →
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.	Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;	But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, 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.
