2 Corinthians 4

4Therefore seeing we have ^athis ministry, ^bas we have received mercy, ^cwe faint not; ²But have renounced the hidden things of ^†dishonesty, not walking in ^dcraftiness, nor ^ehandling the word of God deceitfully; but ^hby manifestation of ^fthe truth ^gcommending ourselves ^hto every man’s conscience in the sight of God. ³But if our gospel be ⁱhid, it is hid ^kto them that are lost: ⁴In whom ^lthe god ^mof this world ⁿhath blinded the ^ominds of them which believe not, lest ^pthe light of ^qthe glorious gospel of Christ, ^rwho is the image of God, should shine unto them. ⁵For ^swe preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ^tourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. ⁶For God, ^uwho commanded the light to shine out of darkness, ^†hath ^wshined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God ^xin the face of Jesus Christ.

⁷But we have this treasure in ^yearthen ^zvessels, ^athat the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. ⁸We are ^btroubled on every side, yet not ^cdistressed; we are ^ccperplexed, but ^||not in despair; ^9dPersecuted, but not ^eforsaken; ^fcast down, but not destroyed; ^10gAlways bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, ^hthat the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. ¹¹For we which live ⁱare alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. ¹²So then ^kdeath worketh in us, but life in you. ¹³We having ^lthe same spirit ^mof faith, according as it is written, ⁿI believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, ^oand therefore speak; ¹⁴Knowing that ^phe which raised up the Lord Jesus ^qshall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall ^qqpresent us with you. ¹⁵For ^rall things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might ^sthrough the thanksgiving of many redound ^tto the glory of God. ¹⁶For which cause ^uwe faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet ^vthe inward man ^wis renewed day by day. ¹⁷For ^xour light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us ^ya far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; ^18zWhile we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are ^atemporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
