THE GOD OF THIS AGE

Therefore, since through God's Mercy we have this Ministry,

We do not lose heart.

RATHER WE HAVE RENOUNCED SECRET AND SHAMEFUL WAYS;

WE DO NOT USE DECEPTION,

NOR DO WE DISTORT THE WORD OF GOD.

ON THE CONTRARY, BY SETTING FORTH THE TRUTH PLAINLY

WE COMMEND OURSELVES TO EVERY MAN'S CONSCIENCE

IN THE SIGHT OF GOD.

AND EVEN IF OUR GOSPEL IS VEILED,

IT IS VEILED TO THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING.

THE GOD OF THIS AGE

HAS BLINDED THE MINDS OF UNBELIEVERS,

SO THAT THEY CANNOT SEE THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL

OF THE GLORY OF CHRIST,

WHO IS THE IMAGE OF GOD.

(2 Corinthians 4:2-4)
