2 Corinthians 2:17

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

For we are not like so many others, who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as men sent from God.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
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.
World English Bible (WEB)
For{G1063} we are{G2070}{(G5748)} not{G3756} as{G5613} many{G4183}, which corrupt{G2585}{(G5723)} the word{G3056} of God{G2316}: but{G235} as{G5613} of{G1537} sincerity{G1505}, but{G235} as{G5613} of{G1537} God{G2316}, in the sight{G2714} of God{G2316} speak we{G2980}{(G5719)} in{G1722} Christ{G5547}.
Strong's King James
(17) For we aren't like many, hucksters of The Word of The אֱלֹהִים Elohim-God but rather as from a pure motive, yet as from יהוה YAHWEH, we speak in Mashiach in יהוה YAHWEH's sight.     
The F.O.G*
[17] Unlike so many, we don't peddle God's word for profit like merchants hawking goods in the marketplace. Instead, with sincere hearts, as those sent from God and standing in His presence, we speak truthfully in the Messiah, knowing every word will be evaluated by His perfect standard.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
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.
Young's Literal Translation
