2Instead, we have renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not practice deceit, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by open proclamation of the truth, we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.
