< 2 Corinthians 4 >
1 ON this account we have not weariness in this ministry which we have received, according to the mercies that are upon us.
Therefore, seeing that we haue this ministerie, as we haue receiued mercy, we faint not:
2 But we have rejected the secrets of shamefulness; and walk not with craft, nor deal deceitfully (with) the word of Aloha; but by the revelation of the truth make we ourselves manifest to the minds of all men before Aloha.
But haue cast from vs ye clokes of shame, and walke not in craftines, neither handle we the worde of God deceitfully: but in declaration of the trueth we approue our selues to euery mans conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel is hid, to those who perish is it hid:
If our Gospell bee then hid, it is hid to them that are lost.
4 (to) them whose minds the god of this world hath blinded because they believe not; lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Meshiha, who is the image of Aloha, should arise upon them. (aiōn )
In whom the God of this world hath blinded the mindes, that is, of the infidels, that the light of the glorious Gospell of Christ, which is the image of God, should not shine vnto them. (aiōn )
5 For we preach not ourselves, but the Meshiha, Jeshu our Lord; but ourselves that we are your servants for the sake of Jeshu.
For we preach not our selues, but Christ Iesus the Lord, and our selues your seruaunts for Iesus sake.
6 For Aloha, who said, Let light arise from darkness, hath arisen in our hearts; that we should be illuminated by the knowledge of the glory of Aloha in the face of Jeshu Meshiha.
For God that commanded the light to shine out of darknesse, is he which hath shined in our hearts, to giue the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Iesus Christ.
7 BUT we have this treasure in a vase of earth, that the greatness of the power might be from Aloha, and not from us.
But we haue this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellencie of that power might be of God, and not of vs.
8 But in every thing we are afflicted, yet not strangled; we are beaten, yet not condemned;
Wee are afflicted on euery side, yet are we not in distresse: we are in doubt, but yet wee despaire not.
9 persecuted, yet not forsaken; cast down, yet we perish not.
We are persecuted, but not forsaken: cast downe, but we perish not.
10 In all time the dying of Jeshu in our bodies we bear, that the life also of Jeshu might in our bodies be revealed.
Euery where we beare about in our bodie the dying of the Lord Iesus, that the life of Iesus might also be made manifest in our bodies.
11 For if we, the living, unto death are delivered on account of Jeshu, so also will the life of Jeshu be revealed in this our body of death.
For we which liue, are alwaies deliuered vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 Now death in us worketh earnestly, but life in you.
So then death worketh in vs, and life in you.
13 We then also who have one spirit of faith, as it is written, I have believed, and therefore also spoken; we believe, therefore also we speak.
And because we haue the same spirite of faith, according as it is written, I beleeued, and therefore haue I spoken, we also beleeue, and therefore speake,
14 And we know that He who raised up our Lord Jeshu, will by Jeshu raise us also, and will present us with you unto himself.
Knowing that he which hath raised vp the Lord Iesus, shall raise vs vp also by Iesus, and shall set vs with you.
15 For every thing is for your sake, that grace, abounding by many, may multiply praise to the glory of Aloha.
For all thinges are for your sakes, that that most plenteous grace by the thankesgiuing of many, may redound to the praise of God.
16 For this cause we have not weariness; for if our outward man is wasted, yet the interior man is renovated day by day.
Therefore we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed daily.
17 For the affliction of this time, while small and light, a glory without end for ever and ever prepareth for us. (aiōnios )
For our light affliction which is but for a moment, causeth vnto vs a farre most excellent and an eternall waight of glorie: (aiōnios )
18 While we look not on these which are seen, but at those which are unseen. For the seen are of time, but the unseen are of eternity. (aiōnios )
While we looke not on the thinges which are seene, but on the things which are not seene: for the things which are seene, are temporall: but the things which are not seene, are eternall. (aiōnios )
