2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore having this ministry, as we have obtained mercy, we faint not;
apara ncha vayaM karuNAbhAjo bhUtvA yad etat parichArakapadam alabhAmahi nAtra klAmyAmaH,
2 but we lay aside the hidden things of disgrace, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but in the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men, before God.

3 But if indeed our gospel is hidden, it is hidden with those who are lost:
asmAbhi rghoShitaH susaMvAdo yadi prachChannaH; syAt tarhi ye vinaMkShyanti teShAmeva dR^iShTitaH sa prachChannaH;
4 in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who believe not, in order that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine on them. (aiōn g165)
yata Ishvarasya pratimUrtti ryaH khrIShTastasya tejasaH susaMvAdasya prabhA yat tAn na dIpayet tadartham iha lokasya devo. avishvAsinAM j nAnanayanam andhIkR^itavAn etasyodAharaNaM te bhavanti| (aiōn g165)
5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
vayaM svAn ghoShayAma iti nahi kintu khrIShTaM yIshuM prabhumevAsmAMshcha yIshoH kR^ite yuShmAkaM parichArakAn ghoShayAmaH|
6 Because God is the one, having said; Out of the darkness the light shall shine, which shone in our hearts, to the enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
ya Ishvaro madhyetimiraM prabhAM dIpanAyAdishat sa yIshukhrIShTasyAsya IshvarIyatejaso j nAnaprabhAyA udayArtham asmAkam antaHkaraNeShu dIpitavAn|
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, in order that the excellency of the power, may be of God, and not of us;
aparaM tad dhanam asmAbhi rmR^iNmayeShu bhAjaneShu dhAryyate yataH sAdbhutA shakti rnAsmAkaM kintvIshvarasyaiveti j nAtavyaM|
8 in everything being troubled, but not in difficulties incorrigible; being at a loss, but not utterly at a loss;
vayaM pade pade pIDyAmahe kintu nAvasIdAmaH, vayaM vyAkulAH santo. api nirupAyA na bhavAmaH;
9 being persecuted, but not forsaken; being cast down, but not destroyed;
vayaM pradrAvyamAnA api na klAmyAmaH, nipAtitA api na vinashyAmaH|
10 always bearing about the dying of Jesus in our body, in order that the life of Jesus may also be made manifest in our bodies.
asmAkaM sharIre khrIShTasya jIvanaM yat prakAsheta tadarthaM tasmin sharIre yIsho rmaraNamapi dhArayAmaH|
11 For we while living are always being delivered up to death for the sake of Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
yIsho rjIvanaM yad asmAkaM marttyadehe prakAsheta tadarthaM jIvanto vayaM yIshoH kR^ite nityaM mR^ityau samarpyAmahe|
12 So that death works in us, but life in you.
itthaM vayaM mR^ityAkrAntA yUya ncha jIvanAkrAntAH|
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which has been written, I believed, therefore I also spoke; and we believe, therefore we also speak;
vishvAsakAraNAdeva samabhAShi mayA vachaH| iti yathA shAstre likhitaM tathaivAsmAbhirapi vishvAsajanakam AtmAnaM prApya vishvAsaH kriyate tasmAchcha vachAMsi bhAShyante|
14 knowing that the one having raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us along with Jesus, and present us with you.
prabhu ryIshu ryenotthApitaH sa yIshunAsmAnapyutthApayiShyati yuShmAbhiH sArddhaM svasamIpa upasthApayiShyati cha, vayam etat jAnImaH|
15 For all things are for your sakes, in order that the grace, overflowing with thanksgiving through many, may abound unto the glory of God.
ataeva yuShmAkaM hitAya sarvvameva bhavati tasmAd bahUnAM prachurAnugrahaprApte rbahulokAnAM dhanyavAdeneshvarasya mahimA samyak prakAshiShyate|
16 Therefore we faint not; but if indeed our external man perishes, yet our internal man is renewed day by day.
tato heto rvayaM na klAmyAmaH kintu bAhyapuruSho yadyapi kShIyate tathApyAntarikaH puruSho dine dine nUtanAyate|
17 For the light burden of our affliction, which is evanescent, is working out for us an eternal weight of glory according to hyperbole unto hyperbole; (aiōnios g166)
kShaNamAtrasthAyi yadetat laghiShThaM duHkhaM tad atibAhulyenAsmAkam anantakAlasthAyi gariShThasukhaM sAdhayati, (aiōnios g166)
18 we not looking at the things which are visible, but the things which are invisible; for the visible things are temporary, but the invisible things are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
yato vayaM pratyakShAn viShayAn anuddishyApratyakShAn uddishAmaH| yato hetoH pratyakShaviShayAH kShaNamAtrasthAyinaH kintvapratyakShA anantakAlasthAyinaH| (aiōnios g166)
