Corinthios Ii 4
1 Ideo habentes administrationem, iuxta quod misericordiam consecuti sumus, non deficimus,
Therefore having this ministry, as we have obtained mercy, we faint not;
2 sed abdicamus occulta dedecoris, non ambulantes in astutia, neque adulterantes verbum Dei, sed in manifestatione veritatis commendantes nosmetipsos ad omnem conscientiam hominum coram Deo.
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 Quod si etiam opertum est Evangelium nostrum: in iis, qui pereunt, est opertum:
But if indeed our gospel is hidden, it is hidden with those who are lost:
4 in quibus deus huius sæculi excæcavit mentes infidelium, ut non fulgeat illis illuminatio Evangelii gloriæ Christi, qui est imago Dei. (aiōn g165)
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)
5 Non enim nosmetipsos prædicamus, sed Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum: nos autem servos vestros per Iesum:
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 quoniam Deus, qui dixit de tenebris lucem splendescere, ipse illuxit in cordibus nostris ad illuminationem scientiæ claritatis Dei, in facie Christi Iesu.
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.
7 Habemus autem thesaurum istum in vasis fictilibus: ut sublimitas sit virtutis Dei, et non ex nobis.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, in order that the excellency of the power, may be of God, and not of us;
8 In omnibus tribulationem patimur, sed non angustiamur: aporiamur, sed non destituimur:
in everything being troubled, but not in difficulties incorrigible; being at a loss, but not utterly at a loss;
9 persecutionem patimur, sed non derelinquimur: deiicimur, sed non perimus:
being persecuted, but not forsaken; being cast down, but not destroyed;
10 semper mortificationem Iesu in corpore nostro circumferentes, ut et vita Iesu manifestetur in corporibus nostris.
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.
11 Semper enim nos, qui vivimus, in mortem tradimur propter Iesum: ut et vita Iesu manifestetur in carne nostra mortali.
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.
12 Ergo mors in nobis operatur, vita autem in vobis.
So that death works in us, but life in you.
13 Habentes autem eundem Spiritum fidei, sicut scriptum est: Credidi, Propter quod locutus sum: et nos credimus, propter quod et loquimur:
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;
14 scientes quoniam qui suscitavit Iesum, et nos cum Iesu suscitabit, et constituet vobiscum.
knowing that the one having raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us along with Jesus, and present us with you.
15 Omnia enim propter vos: ut gratia abundans, per multos in gratiarum actione, abundet in gloriam Dei.
For all things are for your sakes, in order that the grace, overflowing with thanksgiving through many, may abound unto the glory of God.
16 Propter quod non deficimus: sed licet is, qui foris est, noster homo corrumpatur: tamen is, qui intus est, renovatur de die in diem.
Therefore we faint not; but if indeed our external man perishes, yet our internal man is renewed day by day.
17 Id enim, quod in præsenti est momentaneum et leve tribulationis nostræ, supra modum in sublimitate æternum gloriæ pondus operatur in nobis, (aiōnios g166)
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)
18 non contemplantibus nobis quæ videntur, sed quæ non videntur. Quæ enim videntur, temporalia sunt: quæ autem non videntur, æterna sunt. (aiōnios g166)
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)
