Corinthios Ii 4
1 Ideo habentes administrationem, iuxta quod misericordiam consecuti sumus, non deficimus,
Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,
2 sed abdicamus occulta dedecoris, non ambulantes in astutia, neque adulterantes verbum Dei, sed in manifestatione veritatis commendantes nosmetipsos ad omnem conscientiam hominum coram Deo.
but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;
3 Quod si etiam opertum est Evangelium nostrum: in iis, qui pereunt, est opertum:
and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,
4 in quibus deus huius sæculi excæcavit mentes infidelium, ut non fulgeat illis illuminatio Evangelii gloriæ Christi, qui est imago Dei. (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; (aiōn g165)
5 Non enim nosmetipsos prædicamus, sed Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum: nos autem servos vestros per Iesum:
for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus — Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;
6 quoniam Deus, qui dixit de tenebris lucem splendescere, ipse illuxit in cordibus nostris ad illuminationem scientiæ claritatis Dei, in facie Christi Iesu.
because [it is] God who said, Out of darkness light [is] to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 Habemus autem thesaurum istum in vasis fictilibus: ut sublimitas sit virtutis Dei, et non ex nobis.
And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;
8 In omnibus tribulationem patimur, sed non angustiamur: aporiamur, sed non destituimur:
on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;
9 persecutionem patimur, sed non derelinquimur: deiicimur, sed non perimus:
persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 semper mortificationem Iesu in corpore nostro circumferentes, ut et vita Iesu manifestetur in corporibus nostris.
at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,
11 Semper enim nos, qui vivimus, in mortem tradimur propter Iesum: ut et vita Iesu manifestetur in carne nostra mortali.
for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,
12 Ergo mors in nobis operatur, vita autem in vobis.
so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.
13 Habentes autem eundem Spiritum fidei, sicut scriptum est: Credidi, Propter quod locutus sum: et nos credimus, propter quod et loquimur:
And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, 'I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;
14 scientes quoniam qui suscitavit Iesum, et nos cum Iesu suscitabit, et constituet vobiscum.
knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you,
15 Omnia enim propter vos: ut gratia abundans, per multos in gratiarum actione, abundet in gloriam Dei.
for the all things [are] because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;
16 Propter quod non deficimus: sed licet is, qui foris est, noster homo corrumpatur: tamen is, qui intus est, renovatur de die in diem.
wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;
17 Id enim, quod in præsenti est momentaneum et leve tribulationis nostræ, supra modum in sublimitate æternum gloriæ pondus operatur in nobis, (aiōnios g166)
for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us — (aiōnios g166)
18 non contemplantibus nobis quæ videntur, sed quæ non videntur. Quæ enim videntur, temporalia sunt: quæ autem non videntur, æterna sunt. (aiōnios g166)
we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen [are] temporary, but the things not seen [are] age-during. (aiōnios g166)
