Paul’s Perseverance in Ministry

4:1Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as God has shown us mercy,1 we do not become discouraged.2

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 1 Grk “just as we have been shown mercy”; ἡλεήθημεν (ēleēthēmen) 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. 2 Or “we do not lose heart.”
