2 CORINTHIANS 4



2Co 4:1Therefore having this ministry as we have been shown mercy, we do not lose heart;

2Co 4:2But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.

2Co 4:3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those who are perishing,

2Co 4:4In whom the god of this age has blinded the thoughts of the unbelievers that the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine on them.

2Co 4:5For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake.

2Co 4:6Because the God who said, Out of darkness light shall shine, is the One who shined in our hearts to illuminate the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

2Co 4:7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not out of us.

2Co 4:8We are pressed on every side but not constricted; unable to find a way out but not utterly without a way out;

2Co 4:9Persecuted but not abandoned; cast down but not destroyed;

2Co 4:10Always bearing about in the body the putting to death of Jesus that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

2Co 4:11For we who are alive are always being delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

2Co 4:12So then death operates in us, but life in you.

2Co 4:13And having the same spirit of faith according to that which is written, “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak,

2Co 4:14Knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will make us stand before Him with you.

2Co 4:15For all things are for your sakes that the grace which has abounded through the greater number may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

2Co 4:16Therefore we do not lose heart; but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.

2Co 4:17For our momentary lightness of affliction works out for us, more and more surpassingly, an eternal weight of glory,

2Co 4:18Because we do not regard the things which are seen but the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
