Corinthios Ii 4
1 ideo habentes hanc ministrationem iuxta quod misericordiam consecuti sumus non deficimus
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not faint.
2 sed abdicamus occulta dedecoris non ambulantes in astutia neque adulterantes verbum Dei sed in manifestatione veritatis commendantes nosmet ipsos ad omnem conscientiam hominum coram Deo
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 quod si etiam opertum est evangelium nostrum in his qui pereunt est opertum
Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing;
4 in quibus deus huius saeculi excaecavit mentes infidelium ut non fulgeat inluminatio evangelii gloriae Christi qui est imago Dei (aiōn g165)
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)
5 non enim nosmet ipsos praedicamus sed Iesum Christum Dominum nos autem servos vestros per Iesum
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves because of Jesus.
6 quoniam Deus qui dixit de tenebris lucem splendescere qui inluxit in cordibus nostris ad inluminationem scientiae claritatis Dei in facie Christi Iesu
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.
7 habemus autem thesaurum istum in vasis fictilibus ut sublimitas sit virtutis Dei et non ex nobis
But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
8 in omnibus tribulationem patimur sed non angustiamur aporiamur sed non destituimur
We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
9 persecutionem patimur sed non derelinquimur deicimur sed non perimus
pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
10 semper mortificationem Iesu in corpore nostro circumferentes ut et vita Iesu in corporibus nostris manifestetur
always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
11 semper enim nos qui vivimus in mortem tradimur propter Iesum ut et vita Iesu manifestetur in carne nostra mortali
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.
12 ergo mors in nobis operatur vita autem in vobis
So then 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 is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak;
14 scientes quoniam qui suscitavit Iesum et nos cum Iesu suscitabit et constituet vobiscum
knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
15 omnia enim propter vos ut gratia abundans per multos gratiarum actione abundet in gloriam Dei
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.
16 propter quod non deficimus sed licet is qui foris est noster homo corrumpitur tamen is qui intus est renovatur de die in diem
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.
17 id enim quod in praesenti est momentaneum et leve tribulationis nostrae supra modum in sublimitatem aeternum gloriae pondus operatur nobis (aiōnios g166)
For this momentary light affliction is working for us a far more exceeding and everlasting weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 non contemplantibus nobis quae videntur sed quae non videntur quae enim videntur temporalia sunt quae autem non videntur aeterna sunt (aiōnios g166)
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)
