2 Corinthians 4:1-2

Living Bible

4 It is God himself, in his mercy, who has given us this wonderful work of telling his Good News to others,^[a] and so we never give up. ² We do not try to trick people into believing—we are not interested in fooling anyone. We never try to get anyone to believe that the Bible teaches what it doesn’t. All such shameful methods we forego. We stand in the presence of God as we speak and so we tell the truth, as all who know us will agree.
