2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
aparañca vayaṁ karuṇābhājo bhūtvā yad etat paricārakapadam alabhāmahi nātra klāmyāmaḥ,
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word (logos) of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
kintu trapāyuktāni pracchannakarmmāṇi vihāya kuṭilatācaraṇamakurvvanta īśvarīyavākyaṁ mithyāvākyairamiśrayantaḥ satyadharmmasya prakāśaneneśvarasya sākṣāt sarvvamānavānāṁ saṁvedagocare svān praśaṁsanīyān darśayāmaḥ|
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
asmābhi rghoṣitaḥ susaṁvādo yadi pracchannaḥ; syāt tarhi ye vinaṁkṣyanti teṣāmeva dṛṣṭitaḥ sa pracchannaḥ;
4 In whom the god of this world has 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. (aiōn g165)
yata īśvarasya pratimūrtti ryaḥ khrīṣṭastasya tejasaḥ susaṁvādasya prabhā yat tān na dīpayet tadartham iha lokasya devo'viśvāsināṁ jñānanayanam andhīkṛtavān etasyodāharaṇaṁ te bhavanti| (aiōn g165)
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
vayaṁ svān ghoṣayāma iti nahi kintu khrīṣṭaṁ yīśuṁ prabhumevāsmāṁśca yīśoḥ kṛte yuṣmākaṁ paricārakān ghoṣayāmaḥ|
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
ya īśvaro madhyetimiraṁ prabhāṁ dīpanāyādiśat sa yīśukhrīṣṭasyāsya īśvarīyatejaso jñānaprabhāyā udayārtham asmākam antaḥkaraṇeṣu dīpitavān|
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
aparaṁ tad dhanam asmābhi rmṛṇmayeṣu bhājaneṣu dhāryyate yataḥ sādbhutā śakti rnāsmākaṁ kintvīśvarasyaiveti jñātavyaṁ|
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
vayaṁ pade pade pīḍyāmahe kintu nāvasīdāmaḥ, vayaṁ vyākulāḥ santo'pi nirupāyā na bhavāmaḥ;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
vayaṁ pradrāvyamānā api na klāmyāmaḥ, nipātitā api na vinaśyāmaḥ|
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.
asmākaṁ śarīre khrīṣṭasya jīvanaṁ yat prakāśeta tadarthaṁ tasmin śarīre yīśo rmaraṇamapi dhārayāmaḥ|
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
yīśo rjīvanaṁ yad asmākaṁ marttyadehe prakāśeta tadarthaṁ jīvanto vayaṁ yīśoḥ kṛte nityaṁ mṛtyau samarpyāmahe|
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
itthaṁ vayaṁ mṛtyākrāntā yūyañca jīvanākrāntāḥ|
13 We having the same spirit (pneuma) of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
viśvāsakāraṇādeva samabhāṣi mayā vacaḥ| iti yathā śāstre likhitaṁ tathaivāsmābhirapi viśvāsajanakam ātmānaṁ prāpya viśvāsaḥ kriyate tasmācca vacāṁsi bhāṣyante|
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
prabhu ryīśu ryenotthāpitaḥ sa yīśunāsmānapyutthāpayiṣyati yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ svasamīpa upasthāpayiṣyati ca, vayam etat jānīmaḥ|
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
ataeva yuṣmākaṁ hitāya sarvvameva bhavati tasmād bahūnāṁ pracurānugrahaprāpte rbahulokānāṁ dhanyavādeneśvarasya mahimā samyak prakāśiṣyate|
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
tato heto rvayaṁ na klāmyāmaḥ kintu bāhyapuruṣo yadyapi kṣīyate tathāpyāntarikaḥ puruṣo dine dine nūtanāyate|
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
kṣaṇamātrasthāyi yadetat laghiṣṭhaṁ duḥkhaṁ tad atibāhulyenāsmākam anantakālasthāyi gariṣṭhasukhaṁ sādhayati, (aiōnios g166)
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. (aiōnios g166)
yato vayaṁ pratyakṣān viṣayān anuddiśyāpratyakṣān uddiśāmaḥ| yato hetoḥ pratyakṣaviṣayāḥ kṣaṇamātrasthāyinaḥ kintvapratyakṣā anantakālasthāyinaḥ| (aiōnios g166)
