2 Corinthians 4
1 Because of this having ministry this even as we received mercy, not we lose heart,
Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.
2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame not walking in craftiness nor falsifying the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.
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 If however even is concealed the gospel of us, to those perishing it is concealed;
But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;
4 in whom the god of the age this has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so as for not to beam forth (to them *k*) the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is [the] image of God. (aiōn g165)
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]. (aiōn g165)
5 Not for ourselves do we proclaim but Jesus Christ Lord, ourselves now servants of you for the sake of Jesus.
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.
6 For [it is] God having said Out of darkness light (will shine, *N(k)O*) who shone in the hearts of us for [the] radiance of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of Jesus Christ.
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 We have now treasure this in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be from God and not from us,
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:
8 in every [way] being hard pressed but not being crushed, being perplexed but not despairing,
every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;
9 being persecuted but not being forsaken, being struck down but not being destroyed;
persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 always the death of the (Lord *K*) Jesus in [our] body carrying around, so that also the life of Jesus in the body of us may be manifested;
always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body;
11 always for we ourselves the living to death are being delivered on account of Jesus, so that also the life of Jesus may be manifested in the mortal flesh of us.
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 then (indeed *k*) death in us works, however life in you.
so that death works in us, but life in you.
13 Having however the same spirit of faith according to that written: I believed, therefore I have spoken, also we ourselves believe, therefore also speak;
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 the [One] having raised up the Lord Jesus also us (with *N(k)O*) Jesus He will raise up and He will present [us] with you.
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 the sake of you, so that the grace having abounded through more and more the thanksgiving may increase to the glory of God.
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 Therefore not we lose heart; but if even the outward of us man is being brought to decay, yet the (inner *N(k)O*) (of us *no*) is being renewed by day and by day.
Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day.
17 The for momentary lightness the affliction of us far surpassing to excessiveness an eternal weight of glory is producing for us, (aiōnios g166)
For our momentary [and] light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 not are looking at we the [things] being seen but the [things] not being seen; The [things] for being seen [are] temporary, the [things] however not being seen [are] eternal. (aiōnios g166)
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. (aiōnios g166)
