2 Corinthians 4

1ThereforeG3778 seeingG1223 we haveG2192 thisG3778 ministryG3588G1248, asG2531 we have received mercyG1653, we faintG1573 notG3756; 2ButG235 have renouncedG550 the hidden thingsG2927 of dishonestyG3588G152, notG3361 walkingG4043 inG1722 craftinessG3834, norG3366 handlingG1389 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316 deceitfullyG1389; butG235 by manifestationG3588G5321 of the truthG3588G225 commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 toG4314 everyG3956 man’sG444 conscienceG4893 in the sight ofG1799 GodG3588G2316.

3ButG1161 ifG1487 ourG1473 gospelG3588G2098 be hidG2572, it isG1510 hidG2572 toG1722 themG3588 that areG1510 lostG622: 4InG1722 whomG3739 the godG3588G2316 of thisG3778 worldG3588G165 hath blindedG5186 the mindsG3588G3540 of them which believe notG571, lestG3361 the lightG3588G5462 of the gloriousG3588G1391 gospelG3588G2098 of ChristG3588G5547, whoG3739 isG1510 the imageG1504 of GodG3588G2316, should shineG826 unto themG846. 5ForG1063 we preachG2784 notG3756 ourselvesG1438, butG235 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962; andG1161 ourselvesG1438 yourG4771 servantsG1401 forG1223 Jesus’ sakeG2424. 6ForG3754 GodG3588G2316, whoG3739 commandedG3004 the lightG5457 to shineG2989 out ofG1537 darknessG4655, hath shinedG2989 inG1722 ourG1473 heartsG3588G2588, toG4314 give the lightG5462 of the knowledgeG3588G1108 of the gloryG3588G1391 of GodG3588G2316 inG1722 the faceG4383 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

7ButG1161 we haveG2192 thisG3778 treasureG3588G2344 inG1722 earthenG3749 vesselsG4632, thatG2443 the excellencyG3588G5236 of the powerG3588G1411 may beG1510 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 notG3361 ofG1537 usG1473. 8We are troubledG2346 onG1722 every sideG3956, yetG235 notG3756 distressedG4729; we are perplexedG639, butG235 notG3756 in despairG1820; 9PersecutedG1377, butG235 notG3756 forsakenG1459; cast downG2598, butG235 notG3756 destroyedG622; 10AlwaysG3842 bearing aboutG4064 inG1722 the bodyG3588G4983 the dyingG3588G3500 of the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424, thatG2443 the lifeG3588G2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG3588G2424 might be made manifestG5319 inG1722 ourG1473 bodyG3588G4983. 11ForG1063 weG1473 which liveG2198 are alwayG104 deliveredG3860 untoG1519 deathG2288 forG1223 Jesus’ sakeG2424, thatG2443 the lifeG3588G2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG3588G2424 might be made manifestG5319 inG1722 ourG1473 mortalG2349 fleshG4561. 12

So thenG5620 deathG2288 workethG1754 inG1722 usG1473, butG1161 lifeG2222 inG1722 youG4771. 13WeG1473 havingG2192 the sameG846 spiritG4151 of faithG3588G4102, according asG2596 it is writtenG1125, I believedG4100, and thereforeG1352 have I spokenG2980; weG4100 alsoG2532 believeG4100, andG2532 thereforeG1352 speakG2980; 14KnowingG1492 thatG3754 he whichG3588 raised upG1453 the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 shall raise upG1453 usG1473 alsoG2532 byG1223 JesusG2424, andG2532 shall presentG3936 us withG4862 youG4771. 15ForG1063 all thingsG3956 are forG1223 your sakesG4771, thatG2443 the abundantG4121 graceG3588G5485 mightG4052 throughG1223 the thanksgivingG3588G2169 of manyG4119 redoundG4052 toG1519 the gloryG3588G1391 of GodG3588G2316. 16For which causeG1352 we faintG1573 notG3756; butG235 thoughG1487 ourG1473 outwardG1854 manG444 perishG1311, yetG235 the inwardG2081 man is renewedG341 dayG2250 byG2532 dayG2250. 17ForG1063 ourG1473 lightG1645 afflictionG3588G2347, which is but for a momentG3910, workethG2716 for usG1473 a farG5236 more exceedingG5236 and eternalG166 weightG922 of gloryG1391; 18While weG1473 lookG4648 notG3361 at the thingsG3588 which are seenG991, butG235 at the thingsG3588 which areG991 notG3361 seenG991: forG1063 the thingsG3588 which are seenG991 are temporalG4340; butG1161 the thingsG3588 which areG991 notG3361 seenG991 are eternalG166.
