* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.
Instead, 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.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

The F.O.G*
[2] We have completely rejected all shameful, underhanded methods that others might use. We don't manipulate people or distort God's word for our own gain. Instead, by clearly presenting the truth, we let our lives stand open before God and every human conscience.
