ThereforeG1223 G5124 seeing we haveG2192 thisG5026 ministry,G1248 as we haveG2192 receivedG1653 mercy,G1653 we faintG1573 not;
2
But have renouncedG550 the hiddenG2927 things of dishonesty,G152 not walkingG4043 in craftiness,G3834 norG3366 handlingG1389 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 deceitfully;G1389 but by manifestationG5321 of the truthG225 commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 to everyG3956 man'sG444 conscienceG4893 in the sightG1799 of God.G2316
3
But ifG1499 our gospelG2098 be hid,G2572 it is hidG2572 to them that are lost:G622
4
In whomG3739 the godG2316 of thisG5127 worldG165 has blindedG5186 the mindsG3540 of them which believeG571 not, lestG1519 the lightG5462 of the gloriousG1391 gospelG2098 of Christ,G5547 whoG3739 is the imageG1504 of God,G2316 should shineG826 to them.
5
For we preachG2784 not ourselves,G1438 but ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the Lord;G2962 and ourselvesG1438 yourG5216 servantsG1401 for Jesus'G2424 sake.
6
For God,G2316 whoG3588 commandedG2036 the lightG5457 to shineG2989 out of darkness,G4655 has shinedG2989 in our hearts,G2588 to give the lightG5462 of the knowledgeG1108 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 in the faceG4383 of JesusG2424 Christ.G5547
7
But we haveG2192 thisG5126 treasureG2344 in earthenG3749 vessels,G4632 that the excellencyG5236 of the powerG1411 may be of God,G2316 and not of us.
8
We are troubledG2346 onG1722 everyG1722 G3956 side, yetG235 not distressed;G4729 we are perplexed,G639 but not in despair;G1820
9
Persecuted,G1377 but not forsaken;G1459 castG2598 down,G2598 but not destroyed;G622
10
AlwaysG3842 bearingG4064 aboutG4064 in the bodyG4983 the dyingG3500 of the LordG2962 Jesus,G2424 that the lifeG2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG2424 might be madeG5319 manifestG5319 in our body.G4983
11
For we whichG3588 liveG2198 are alwaysG104 deliveredG3860 to deathG2288 for Jesus'G2424 sake, that the lifeG2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG2424 might be madeG5319 manifestG5319 in our mortalG2349 flesh.G4561
12
SoG5620 thenG3303 deathG2288 worksG1754 in us, but lifeG2222 in you.
13
We havingG2192 the sameG846 spiritG4151 of faith,G4102 accordingG2596 as it is written,G1125 I believed,G4100 and thereforeG1352 have I spoken;G2980 we alsoG2532 believe,G4100 and thereforeG1352 speak;G2980
14
KnowingG1492 that he which raisedG1453 up the LordG2962 JesusG2424 shall raiseG1453 up us alsoG2532 by Jesus,G2424 and shall presentG3936 us with you.
15
For allG3956 things are for yourG5209 sakes, that the abundantG4121 graceG5485 might throughG1223 the thanksgivingG2169 of manyG4119 redoundG4052 to the gloryG1391 of God.G2316
16
For whichG1352 causeG1352 we faintG1573 not; but thoughG1499 our outwardG1854 manG444 perish,G1311 yetG235 the inwardG2081 man is renewedG341 dayG2250 by day.G2250
17
For our lightG1645 affliction,G2347 whichG3588 is but for a moment,G3901 worksG2716 for us a farG1519 G5236 moreG1519 G5236 exceedingG1519 G5236 and eternalG166 weightG922 of glory;G1391
18
While we lookG4648 not atG4648 the things which are seen,G991 but atG4648 the things which are not seen:G991 for the things which are seenG991 are temporal;G4340 but the things which are not seenG991 are eternal.G166
