2 CORINTHIANS 2:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.”
Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit (ou kapēleuontes). Rather, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity (eilikrineias), as those sent from God — kapēleuo (peddle/corrupt) condemns those who profit from ministry, a sharp rebuke of false apostles. Paul's sincerity (eilikrineias recurs from 1:12) is transparency before God, not before the marketplace.
