2 Corinthians 4:1

Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as God has shown us mercy, ¹  we do not become discouraged. ² 

Isa 40:30; 1Co 7:25; 2Co 3:6,12; 2Co 4:16; 2Co 5:18; Ga 6:9; Eph 3:7,8; Eph 3:13; Php 4:13; 2Th 3:13; 1Ti 1:13; Heb 12:3; 1Pe 2:10; Re 2:3

¹ tn Grk “just as we have been shown mercy”; ἠλεήθημεν (hlehqhmen) has been translated as a “divine passive” which is a circumlocution for God as the active agent. For clarity this was converted to an active construction with God as subject in the translation.

² tn Or “we do not lose heart.”
