Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,
4 ⲇ̅ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲙ ⲛⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲑⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Messiah, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. (aiōn g165)
For we don’t proclaim ourselves, but Messiah Yeshua as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Yeshua’s sake,
6 ⲋ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲁϣⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲣⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Yeshua the Messiah.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲁϩⲟ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲛⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲃⲗϫⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲧϭⲟⲙ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ
But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Yeshua, that the life of Yeshua may also be revealed in our body.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲥⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲉⲧⲉϣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩ
For we who live are always delivered to death for Yeshua’s sake, that the life also of Yeshua may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
So then death works in us, but life in you.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲧⲛϣⲁϫⲉ
But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore we also speak,
knowing that he who raised the Lord Yeshua will raise us also with Yeshua, and will present us with you.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲁⲥⲁϣⲁⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲥⲉⲧⲁϣⲟ ⲙⲡⲉϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory, (aiōnios g166)
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲉⲛⲧⲛϭⲱϣⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲣⲟⲥⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉ (aiōnios g166)
while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
