2 Corinthians 4

1Therefore, having this ministryG1248, as we have had mercyG1653 shewn us, we faint not. 2But we have rejected the hidden thingsG3956 of shameG152, not walkingG4043 in deceit, nor falsifying the wordG3056 of 1GodG2316, but by manifestationG5321 of the truthG225 commendingG4921 ourselves to every conscienceG4893 of menG444 before 2GodG2316. 3But if alsoG2532 our gospelG2098 isG1510 veiled, it isG1510 veiled in those that areG1510 lostG622; 4in whom the 3godG2316 of this world has blindedG5186 the thoughts of the unbelievingG571, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the gloryG1391 of the ChristG5547, who isG1510 [the] imageG1504 of 4GodG2316, should not shine forth [for them]. 5For we do not preachG2784 ourselves, but ChristG5547 JesusG2424 LordG2962, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sakeG1223. 6Because [it is] the 5GodG2316 who spokeG3004 that out of darknessG4655 lightG5457 should shineG2989 who has shoneG2989 in our heartsG2588 for the shining forth of the knowledgeG1108 of the gloryG1391 of 6GodG2316 in [the] faceG4383 of [Jesus] ChristG5547. 7But we have this treasureG2344 in earthenG3749 vesselsG4632, that the surpassingness of the powerG1411 may beG1510 of 7GodG2316, and not from us: 8every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up; 9persecutedG1377, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyedG622; 10alwaysG3842 bearing about in the bodyG4983 the dying of JesusG2424, that the lifeG2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG2424 may be manifestedG5319 in our bodyG4983; 11for we who liveG2198 are alwaysG104 deliveredG3860 unto deathG2288 on accountG1223 of JesusG2424, that the lifeG2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG2424 may be manifestedG5319 in our mortalG2349 fleshG4561; 12so that deathG2288 worksG1754 in us, but lifeG2222 in you. 13And having the sameG846 spiritG4151 of faithG4102, accordingG2596 to what is writtenG1125, I have believedG4100, thereforeG1352 have I spokenG2980; we alsoG2532 believeG4100, thereforeG1352 alsoG2532 we speakG2980; 14knowing that he who has raisedG1453 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 shall raiseG1453 us alsoG2532 with JesusG2424, and shall presentG3936 [us] with you. 15For all thingsG3956 [are] for your sakesG1223, that the graceG5485 aboundingG4052 through the manyG4183 may cause thanksgivingG2169 to aboundG4052 to the gloryG1391 of 8GodG2316. 16Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward manG444 is consumed, yet the inward is renewedG341 dayG2250 by dayG2250. 17For our momentary [and] light afflictionG2347 works for us in surpassing measure an eternalG166 weight of gloryG1391; 18while we lookG991 not at the things that are seenG991, but at the things that are not seenG991; for the things that are seenG991 [are] for a time, but those that are not seenG991 eternalG166.
