2 Corinthians 2:17 | |
NASB: For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God. (NASB ©1995) GWT: At least we don't go around selling an impure word of God like many others. The opposite is true. As Christ's spokesmen and in God's presence, we speak the pure message that comes from God. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: 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. ASV: For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ. BBE: For we are not like the great number who make use of the word of God for profit: but our words are true, as from God, being said as before God in Christ. DBY: For we do not, as the many, make a trade of the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, before God, we speak in Christ. WEY: We are; for, unlike most teachers, we are not fraudulent hucksters of God's Message; but with transparent motives, as commissioned by God, in God's presence and in communion with Christ, so we speak. WBS: For we are not as many, who corrupt the word of God: but as from sincerity, but as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ. WEB: For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ. YLT: for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity -- but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak. | |
