¹ Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

² But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

³ But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

⁴ In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

⁶ For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

⁸ We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

⁹ Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

¹⁰ Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

¹¹ For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

¹² So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

¹³ We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

¹⁴ Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

¹⁵ For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

¹⁶ For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

¹⁸ While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

¹ Therefore seeing ^{G1223 G5124} we have ^G2192 this ^G5026 ministry, ^G1248 as ^G2531 we have received mercy, ^G1653 we faint ^G1573 not; ^G3756

² But ^G235 have renounced ^G550 the hidden things ^G2927 of dishonesty, ^G152 not ^G3361 walking ^G4043 in ^G1722 craftiness, ^G3834 nor ^G3366 handling ^G1389 the word ^G3056 of God ^G2316 deceitfully; ^G1389 but ^G235 by manifestation ^G5321 of the truth ^G225 commending ^G4921 ourselves ^G1438 to ^G4314 every ^G3956 man's ^G444 conscience ^G4893 in the sight ^G1799 of God. ^G2316

³ But ^G1161 if ^G1499 our ^G2257 gospel ^G2098 be ^G2076 hid, ^G2572 it is ^G2076 hid ^G2572 to ^G1722 them that are lost: ^G622

⁴ In ^G1722 whom ^G3739 the god ^G2316 of this ^G5127 world ^G165 hath blinded ^G5186 the minds ^G3540 of them which believe not, ^G571 lest ^{G1519 G3361} the light ^G5462 of the glorious ^G1391 gospel ^G2098 of Christ, ^G5547 who ^G3739 is ^G2076 the image ^G1504 of God, ^G2316 should shine ^G826 unto them. ^G846

⁵ For ^G1063 we preach ^G2784 not ^G3756 ourselves, ^G1438 but ^G235 Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424 the Lord; ^G2962 and ^G1161 ourselves ^G1438 your ^G5216 servants ^G1401 for ^G1223 Jesus' ^G2424 sake. ^G1223

⁶ For ^G3754 God, ^G2316 who ^G3588 commanded ^G2036 the light ^G5457 to shine ^G2989 out of ^G1537 darkness, ^{G4655 G3739} hath shined ^G2989 in ^G1722 our ^G2257 hearts, ^G2588 to ^G4314 give the light ^G5462 of the knowledge ^G1108 of the glory ^G1391 of God ^G2316 in ^G1722 the face ^G4383 of Jesus ^G2424 Christ. ^G5547

⁷ But ^G1161 we have ^G2192 this ^G5126 treasure ^G2344 in ^G1722 earthen ^G3749 vessels, ^G4632 that ^G2443 the excellency ^G5236 of the power ^G1411 may be ^G5600 of God, ^G2316 and ^G2532 not ^G3361 of ^G1537 us. ^G2257

⁸ We are troubled ^G2346 on ^G1722 every side, ^G3956 yet ^G235 not ^G3756 distressed; ^G4729 we are perplexed, ^G639 but ^G235 not ^G3756 in despair; ^G1820

⁹ Persecuted, ^G1377 but ^G235 not ^G3756 forsaken; ^G1459 cast down, ^G2598 but ^G235 not ^G3756 destroyed; ^G622

¹⁰ Always ^G3842 bearing about ^G4064 in ^G1722 the body ^G4983 the dying ^G3500 of the Lord ^G2962 Jesus, ^G2424 that ^G2443 the life ^G2222 also ^G2532 of Jesus ^G2424 might be made manifest ^G5319 in ^G1722 our ^G2257 body. ^G4983

¹¹ For we ^G2249 which ^G3588 live ^G2198 are ^G3860 alway ^{G104 G1063} delivered ^G3860 unto ^G1519 death ^G2288 for ^G1223 Jesus' ^G2424 sake, ^G1223 that ^G2443 the life ^G2222 also ^G2532 of Jesus ^G2424 might be made manifest ^G5319 in ^G1722 our ^G2257 mortal ^G2349 flesh. ^G4561

¹² So ^G5620 then ^G3303 death ^G2288 worketh ^G1754 in ^G1722 us, ^G2254 but ^G1161 life ^G2222 in ^G1722 you. ^G5213

^{13 G1161} We having ^G2192 the same ^G846 spirit ^G4151 of faith, ^G4102 according as ^G2596 it is written, ^G1125 I believed, ^G4100 and therefore ^G1352 have I spoken; ^G2980 we ^G2249 also ^G2532 believe, ^G4100 and ^G2532 therefore ^G1352 speak; ^G2980

¹⁴ Knowing ^G1492 that ^G3754 he which raised up ^G1453 the Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 shall raise up ^G1453 us ^G2248 also ^G2532 by ^G1223 Jesus, ^G2424 and ^G2532 shall present ^G3936 us with ^G4862 you. ^G5213

¹⁵ For ^G1063 all things ^G3956 are for ^G1223 your ^G5209 sakes, ^G1223 that ^G2443 the abundant ^G4121 grace ^G5485 might ^G4052 through ^G1223 the thanksgiving ^G2169 of many ^G4119 redound ^G4052 to ^G1519 the glory ^G1391 of God. ^G2316

¹⁶ For which cause ^G1352 we faint ^G1573 not; ^G3756 but ^G235 though ^G1499 our ^G2257 outward ^G1854 man ^G444 perish, ^G1311 yet ^G235 the inward ^G2081 man is renewed ^G341 day ^G2250 by ^G2532 day. ^G2250

¹⁷ For ^G1063 our ^G2257 light ^G1645 affliction, ^G2347 which ^G3588 is but for a moment, ^G3910 worketh ^G2716 for us ^G2254 a far ^{G2596 G5236} more exceeding ^{G1519 G5236} and eternal ^G166 weight ^G922 of glory; ^G1391

¹⁸ While ^G4648 we ^G2257 look ^G4648 not ^G3361 at ^G4648 the things which are seen, ^G991 but ^G235 at the things which are ^G991 not ^G3361 seen: ^G991 for ^G1063 the things which are seen ^G991 are temporal; ^G4340 but ^G1161 the things which are ^G991 not ^G3361 seen ^G991 are eternal. ^G166

¹ Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:

² 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.

³ And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish:

⁴ in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn `upon them'.

⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

⁶ Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;

⁸ `we are' pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;

⁹ pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;

¹⁰ always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.

¹¹ For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

¹² So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

¹³ But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak;

¹⁴ knowing that he that raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you.

¹⁵ For all things `are' for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God.

¹⁶ Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

¹⁸ while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

---

¹ Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,

² but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;

³ and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,

⁴ in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

⁵ for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus -- Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;

⁶ because `it is' God who said, Out of darkness light `is' to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁷ And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;

⁸ on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;

⁹ persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

¹⁰ at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,

¹¹ for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,

¹² so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.

¹³ And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, `I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;

¹⁴ knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you,

¹⁵ for the all things `are' because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;

¹⁶ wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

¹⁷ for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us --

¹⁸ we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen `are' temporary, but the things not seen `are' age-during.

---

¹ Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.

² But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.

³ But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;

⁴ in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is [the] image of God, should not shine forth [for them].

⁵ For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.

⁶ Because [it is] the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of [Jesus] Christ.

⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:

⁸ every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;

⁹ persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;

¹⁰ always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body;

¹¹ for we who live are always delivered unto death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh;

¹² so that death works in us, but life in you.

¹³ And having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I have believed, therefore have I spoken; *we* also believe, therefore also we speak;

¹⁴ knowing that he who has raised the Lord Jesus shall raise us also with Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.

¹⁵ For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

¹⁶ Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day.

¹⁷ For our momentary [and] light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory;

¹⁸ while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen [are] for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.

---

¹ Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don't faint.

² 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.

³ Even if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish;

⁴ in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

⁵ For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake;

⁶ seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁷ But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.

⁸ We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;

⁹ pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;

¹⁰ always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

¹¹ For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

¹² So then death works in us, but life in you.

¹³ But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak;

¹⁴ knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

¹⁵ For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

¹⁶ Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

¹⁸ while we don't look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

---

¹ For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:

² And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

³ But if our good news is veiled, it is veiled from those who are on the way to destruction:

⁴ Because the god of this world has made blind the minds of those who have not faith, so that the light of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not be shining on them.

⁵ For our preaching is not about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants through Jesus.

⁶ Seeing that it is God who said, Let light be shining out of the dark, who has put in our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁷ But we have this wealth in vessels of earth, so that it may be seen that the power comes not from us but from God;

⁸ Troubles are round us on every side, but we are not shut in; things are hard for us, but we see a way out of them;

⁹ We are cruelly attacked, but not without hope; we are made low, but we are not without help;

¹⁰ In our bodies there is ever the mark of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our bodies.

¹¹ For, while living, we are still being given up to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our flesh, though it is under the power of death.

¹² So then, death is working in us, but life in you.

¹³ But having the same spirit of faith, as it is said in the Writings, The words of my mouth came from the faith in my heart; in the same way, our words are the outcome of our faith;

¹⁴ Because we are certain that he who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead, will do the same for us, and will give us a place in his glory with you.

¹⁵ For we go through all things on account of you, because the greater the number to whom the grace is given, the greater is the praise to the glory of God.

¹⁶ For which cause we do not give way to weariness; but though our outer man is getting feebler, our inner man is made new day by day.

¹⁷ For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory;

¹⁸ While our minds are not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are for a time; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
