4:1 Therefore seeing 1223 5124 we have 2192 5723 this 5026 ministry 1248, as 2531 we have received mercy 1653 5681, we faint 1573 5719 not 3756;

4:2 But 235 have renounced 550 5639 the hidden things 2927 of dishonesty 152, not 3361 walking 4043 5723 in 1722 craftiness 3834, nor 3366 handling 1389 0 the word 3056 of God 2316 deceitfully 1389 5723; but 235 by manifestation 5321 of the truth 225 commending 4921 5723 ourselves 1438 to 4314 every 3956 man's 444 conscience 4893 in the sight 1799 of God 2316.(dishonesty: Gr. shame)

4:3 But 1161 if 1499 our 2257 gospel 2098 be 2076 5748 hid 2572 5772, it is 2076 5748 hid 2572 5772 to 1722 them that are lost 622 5730:

4:4 In 1722 whom 3739 the god 2316 of this 5127 world 165 hath blinded 5186 5656 the minds 3540 of them which believe not 571, lest 1519 3361 the light 5462 of the glorious 1391 gospel 2098 of Christ 5547, who 3739 is 2076 5748 the image 1504 of God 2316, should shine 826 5658 unto them 846.

4:5 For 1063 we preach 2784 5719 not 3756 ourselves 1438, but 235 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 the Lord 2962; and 1161 ourselves 1438 your 5216 servants 1401 for 1223 0 Jesus' 2424 sake 1223.

4:6 For 3754 God 2316, who 3588 commanded 2036 5631 the light 5457 to shine 2989 5658 out of 1537 darkness 4655, 3739 hath shined 2989 5656 in 1722 our 2257 hearts 2588, to 4314 [give] the light 5462 of the knowledge 1108 of the glory 1391 of God 2316 in 1722 the face 4383 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.(hath: Gr. is he who hath)

4:7 But 1161 we have 2192 5719 this 5126 treasure 2344 in 1722 earthen 3749 vessels 4632, that 2443 the excellency 5236 of the power 1411 may be 5600 5753 of God 2316, and 2532 not 3361 of 1537 us 2257.

4:8 [We are] troubled 2346 5746 on 1722 every side 3956, yet 235 not 3756 distressed 4729 5746; [we are] perplexed 639 5734, but 235 not 3756 in despair 1820 5740;(in despair: or, altogether without help, or, means)

4:9 Persecuted 1377 5746, but 235 not 3756 forsaken 1459 5746; cast down 2598 5746, but 235 not 3756 destroyed 622 5730;

4:10 Always 3842 bearing about 4064 5723 in 1722 the body 4983 the dying 3500 of the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424, that 2443 the life 2222 also 2532 of Jesus 2424 might be made manifest 5319 5686 in 1722 our 2257 body 4983.

4:11 For we 2249 which 3588 live 2198 5723 are 3860 0 alway 104 1063 delivered 3860 5743 unto 1519 death 2288 for 1223 0 Jesus' 2424 sake 1223, that 2443 the life 2222 also 2532 of Jesus 2424 might be made manifest 5319 5686 in 1722 our 2257 mortal 2349 flesh 4561.

4:12 So 5620 then 3303 death 2288 worketh 1754 5731 in 1722 us 2254, but 1161 life 2222 in 1722 you 5213.

4:13 1161 We having 2192 5723 the same 846 spirit 4151 of faith 4102, according as 2596 it is written 1125 5772, I believed 4100 5656, and therefore 1352 have I spoken 2980 5656; we 2249 also 2532 believe 4100 5719, and 2532 therefore 1352 speak 2980 5719;

4:14 Knowing 1492 5761 that 3754 he which raised up 1453 5660 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 shall raise up 1453 5692 us 2248 also 2532 by 1223 Jesus 2424, and 2532 shall present 3936 5692 [us] with 4862 you 5213.

4:15 For 1063 all things 3956 [are] for 1223 0 your 5209 sakes 1223, that 2443 the abundant 4121 5660 grace 5485 might 4052 0 through 1223 the thanksgiving 2169 of many 4119 redound 4052 5661 to 1519 the glory 1391 of God 2316.

4:16 For which cause 1352 we faint 1573 5719 not 3756; but 235 though 1499 our 2257 outward 1854 man 444 perish 1311 5743, yet 235 the inward 2081 [man] is renewed 341 5743 day 2250 by 2532 day 2250.

4:17 For 1063 our 2257 light 1645 affliction 2347, which 3588 is but for a moment 3910, worketh 2716 5736 for us 2254 a far 2596 5236 more exceeding 1519 5236 [and] eternal 166 weight 922 of glory 1391;

4:18 While 4648 0 we 2257 look 4648 0 not 3361 at 4648 5723 the things which are seen 991 5746, but 235 at the things which are 991 0 not 3361 seen 991 5746: for 1063 the things which are seen 991 5746 [are] temporal 4340; but 1161 the things which are 991 0 not 3361 seen 991 5746 [are] eternal 166.
