1301-daily-bible-verse
2 Corinthians 4:1-7
4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint (to turn a coward, to lose one’s courage) not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty (shame), not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation (revealing, unveiling) of the truth commending (to represent as worthy) ourselves to every man’s conscience (conscience of men) in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost (perishing):
4 In whom the god of this world (age) hath blinded (to make blind, darkened) the minds (purpose, thoughts) of them which believe not, lest the light (illumination) of the glorious gospel of Christ (the messiah), who is the image (likeness)of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus (as Christ) the Lord; and ourselves your servants for (on account of) Jesus’ sake.
2 Corinthians 5:17-21
17 Therefore if any man be in (resting within) Christ (the messiah), he is (there is) a new creature (creation): old things (the ancient things) are passed away; behold, all things (they) are become new (freshly new).
18 And all things (as a whole) are of God, who hath reconciled (reconnected) us to himself by Jesus Christ (the messiah), and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation (the reconnection);
19 To wit, that God was in (resting within) Christ (the messiah), reconciling (reconnecting) the world (kosmos: the arrangement) unto himself, not imputing (counting) their trespasses (the falling aside) unto them; and hath committed unto (placed in) us the word (logos: the spoken word as connected to the inner thoughts) of reconciliation (reconnection).
20 Now then we are ambassadors (to be an elder, take precedence) for Christ (the messiah), as though God did beseech you (is beseeching) by us: we pray you in Christ’s (the messiah) stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no (not) sin; that we might be (become) made the righteousness of God in him.
