2Cor 4:1 | CPDV | STEP | Therefore, since we have this ministry, and in as much as we have obtained mercy for ourselves, we are not inadequate.

2 Corinthians 4:1

The sincerity of his preaching. His comfort in his afflictions.

1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, and in as much as we have obtained mercy for ourselves, we are not inadequate. ^{▼▼4:1Paul is discussing his adequacy or perceived inadequacy for the ministry given to him by God. The word ‘deficimus’ in this context is not so much ‘to fail’ as to be insufficient or inadequate for a task.(Conte)}
