2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not faint.
aparaJca vayaM karuNAbhAjo bhUtvA yad etat paricArakapadam alabhAmahi nAtra klAmyAmaH,
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 Good News is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing;
asmAbhi rghoSitaH susaMvAdo yadi pracchannaH; syAt tarhi ye vinaMkSyanti teSAmeva dRSTitaH sa pracchannaH;
4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so they would not see the light of the glorious Good News of Christ, who is the image of God. (aiōn g165)
yata Izvarasya pratimUrtti ryaH khrISTastasya tejasaH susaMvAdasya prabhA yat tAn na dIpayet tadartham iha lokasya devo'vizvAsinAM jJAnanayanam andhIkRtavAn etasyodAharaNaM te bhavanti| (aiōn g165)
5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves because of Jesus.
vayaM svAn ghoSayAma iti nahi kintu khrISTaM yIzuM prabhumevAsmAMzca yIzoH kRte yuSmAkaM paricArakAn ghoSayAmaH|
6 For it is God, who spoke for light to 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 Christ.
ya Izvaro madhyetimiraM prabhAM dIpanAyAdizat sa yIzukhrISTasyAsya IzvarIyatejaso jJAnaprabhAyA udayArtham asmAkam antaHkaraNeSu dIpitavAn|
7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
aparaM tad dhanam asmAbhi rmRNmayeSu bhAjaneSu dhAryyate yataH sAdbhutA zakti rnAsmAkaM kintvIzvarasyaiveti jJAtavyaM|
8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
vayaM pade pade pIDyAmahe kintu nAvasIdAmaH, vayaM vyAkulAH santo'pi nirupAyA na bhavAmaH;
9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
vayaM pradrAvyamAnA api na klAmyAmaH, nipAtitA api na vinazyAmaH|
10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
asmAkaM zarIre khrISTasya jIvanaM yat prakAzeta tadarthaM tasmin zarIre yIzo rmaraNamapi dhArayAmaH|
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.
yIzo rjIvanaM yad asmAkaM marttyadehe prakAzeta tadarthaM jIvanto vayaM yIzoH kRte nityaM mRtyau samarpyAmahe|
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
itthaM vayaM mRtyAkrAntA yUyaJca jIvanAkrAntAH|
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;
vizvAsakAraNAdeva samabhASi mayA vacaH| iti yathA zAstre likhitaM tathaivAsmAbhirapi vizvAsajanakam AtmAnaM prApya vizvAsaH kriyate tasmAcca vacAMsi bhASyante|
14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
prabhu ryIzu ryenotthApitaH sa yIzunAsmAnapyutthApayiSyati yuSmAbhiH sArddhaM svasamIpa upasthApayiSyati ca, vayam etat jAnImaH|
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.
ataeva yuSmAkaM hitAya sarvvameva bhavati tasmAd bahUnAM pracurAnugrahaprApte rbahulokAnAM dhanyavAdenezvarasya mahimA samyak prakAziSyate|
16 Therefore we do not become discouraged, but even though our outer nature is wearing away, yet our inner nature is being renewed day by day.
tato heto rvayaM na klAmyAmaH kintu bAhyapuruSo yadyapi kSIyate tathApyAntarikaH puruSo dine dine nUtanAyate|
17 For this momentary light affliction is working for us a far more exceeding and everlasting weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
kSaNamAtrasthAyi yadetat laghiSThaM duHkhaM tad atibAhulyenAsmAkam anantakAlasthAyi gariSThasukhaM sAdhayati, (aiōnios g166)
18 while we do not 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 everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
yato vayaM pratyakSAn viSayAn anuddizyApratyakSAn uddizAmaH| yato hetoH pratyakSaviSayAH kSaNamAtrasthAyinaH kintvapratyakSA anantakAlasthAyinaH| (aiōnios g166)
