2 Corinthians 4:2 in Context — 2 Corinthians 4

1 C’est pourquoi, ayant ce ministère, selon la miséricorde qui nous a été faite, nous ne perdons pas courage.

2 Nous rejetons les choses honteuses qui se font en secret, nous n’avons point une conduite astucieuse, et nous n’altérons point la parole de Dieu. Mais, en publiant la vérité, nous nous recommandons à toute conscience d’homme devant Dieu.

3 Si notre Évangile est encore voilé, il est voilé pour ceux qui périssent;

4 pour les incrédules dont le dieu de ce siècle a aveuglé l’intelligence, afin qu’ils ne vissent pas briller la splendeur de l’Évangile de la gloire de Christ, qui est l’image de Dieu.
