2 Corinthians 4:1 - Amplified Bible - Classic Edition THEREFORE, SINCE we do hold and engage in this ministry by the mercy of God [granting us favor, benefits, opportunities, and especially salvation], we do not get discouraged (spiritless and despondent with fear) or become faint with weariness and exhaustion. More versionsKing James Version (Oxford) 1769 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; American Standard Version (1901) Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not: Common English Bible This is why we don’t get discouraged, given that we received this ministry in the same way that we received God’s mercy. Catholic Public Domain Version Therefore, since we have this ministry, and in as much as we have obtained mercy for ourselves, we are not inadequate. |
