1. God, with his mercy, gave us this work to do, so we don’t give up.
2. But we have turned away from secret and shameful ways. We use no trickery, and we do not change the teaching of God. We teach the truth plainly, showing everyone who we are. Then they can know in their hearts what kind of people we are in God’s sight.
3. If the Good News that we preach is hidden, it is hidden only to those who are lost.
