2 Corinthians 4:1-7

1ThereforeG1223 seeing weG3778 have thisG3778 ministryG1248, even asG2531 weG3778 obtainedG2192 mercyG1653, weG3778 faint notG3756:

2butG235 weG3588 have renouncedG550 theG3956 hiddenG2927 thingsG3956 ofG3056 shameG152, notG3361 walkingG4043 inG1722 craftinessG3834, norG3366 handling theG3956 wordG3056 ofG3056 GodG2316 deceitfully; butG235 byG1722 theG3956 manifestationG5321 ofG3056 theG3956 truthG225 commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 toG4314 everyG3956 man’sG444 conscienceG4893 inG1722 theG3956 sightG1799 ofG3056 GodG2316.

3ButG1161 andG2532 ifG1487 ourG2532 gospelG2098 isG1510 veiledG2572, itG1161 isG1510 veiledG2572 inG1722 themG1722 thatG1161 areG1510 perishingG622:

4inG1722 whomG3739 theG3588 godG2316 ofG2316 thisG3778 worldG165 hath blindedG5186 theG3588 mindsG3540 ofG2316 theG3588 unbelievingG571, thatG3739 theG3588 lightG5462 ofG2316 theG3588 gospelG2098 ofG2316 theG3588 gloryG1391 ofG2316 ChristG5547, whoG3739 isG1510 theG3588 imageG1504 ofG2316 GodG2316, shouldG2316 notG3361 dawn uponG1510 themG1722.

5ForG1063 weG1161 preachG2784 notG3756 ourselvesG1438, butG1161 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 asG1438 LordG2962, andG1161 ourselvesG1438 asG1438 yourG2962 servantsG1401 forG1063 Jesus’G2424 sakeG1223.

6Seeing itG3739 is GodG2316, thatG3754 saidG3004, LightG5457 shallG5457 shineG2989 outG1537 ofG1537 darknessG4655, whoG3739 shinedG2989 inG1722 ourG2316 heartsG2588, toG4314 giveG3004 theG3588 lightG5457 ofG1537 theG3588 knowledgeG1108 ofG1537 theG3588 gloryG1391 ofG1537 GodG2316 inG1722 theG3588 faceG4383 ofG1537 JesusG3004 ChristG5547.

7ButG1161 weG2249 have thisG3778 treasureG2344 inG1722 earthenG3749 vesselsG4632, thatG2443 theG3588 exceeding greatnessG5236 ofG1537 theG3588 powerG1411 mayG2532 beG1510 ofG1537 GodG2316, andG2532 notG3361 fromG1537 ourselvesG2249;
