# 2 Corinthians 4:1-6 English Standard Version

### The Light of the Gospel

4 Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God,\[[a](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%204%3A1-6&version=ESV#fen-ESV-28844a "See footnote a")\] we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice\[[b](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%204%3A1-6&version=ESV#fen-ESV-28845b "See footnote b")\] cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants\[[c](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%204%3A1-6&version=ESV#fen-ESV-28848c "See footnote c")\] for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
