2 Corinthians 4:1-3

"And so, since God in His mercy has given us this wonderful ministry, we never give up. We reject all shameful and underhanded methods. We do not try to trick anyone, and we do not distort the Word of God.

If the Good News we preach is veiled from anyone, it is a sign that they are perishing and Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them."

2 Corinthians 5:17

"What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun."

2 Corinthians 5:20-21

"We are Christ's ambassadors, and God is using us to speak to you. We urge you, as though Christ himself were here preaching with you, 'Be reconciled to God!' For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ."

2 Corinthians 6:1-2

"As God's partners, we beg you not to reject this marvelous message of God's great kindness. For God says, 'At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.' Indeed, God is ready to help you right now. Today is the day of salvation."
