2 Corinthians 4
1 Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,
ON this account we have not weariness in this ministry which we have received, according to the mercies that are upon us.
2 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;
But we have rejected the secrets of shamefulness; and walk not with craft, nor deal deceitfully (with) the word of Aloha; but by the revelation of the truth make we ourselves manifest to the minds of all men before Aloha.
3 and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,
But if our gospel is hid, to those who perish is it hid:
4 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)
(to) them whose minds the god of this world hath blinded because they believe not; lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Meshiha, who is the image of Aloha, should arise upon them. (aiōn g165)
5 for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus — Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;
For we preach not ourselves, but the Meshiha, Jeshu our Lord; but ourselves that we are your servants for the sake of Jeshu.
6 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.
For Aloha, who said, Let light arise from darkness, hath arisen in our hearts; that we should be illuminated by the knowledge of the glory of Aloha in the face of Jeshu Meshiha.
7 And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;
BUT we have this treasure in a vase of earth, that the greatness of the power might be from Aloha, and not from us.
8 on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;
But in every thing we are afflicted, yet not strangled; we are beaten, yet not condemned;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
persecuted, yet not forsaken; cast down, yet we perish not.
10 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,
In all time the dying of Jeshu in our bodies we bear, that the life also of Jeshu might in our bodies be revealed.
11 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,
For if we, the living, unto death are delivered on account of Jeshu, so also will the life of Jeshu be revealed in this our body of death.
12 so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.
Now death in us worketh earnestly, but life in you.
13 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;
We then also who have one spirit of faith, as it is written, I have believed, and therefore also spoken; we believe, therefore also we speak.
14 knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you,
And we know that He who raised up our Lord Jeshu, will by Jeshu raise us also, and will present us with you unto himself.
15 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;
For every thing is for your sake, that grace, abounding by many, may multiply praise to the glory of Aloha.
16 wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;
For this cause we have not weariness; for if our outward man is wasted, yet the interior man is renovated day by day.
17 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)
For the affliction of this time, while small and light, a glory without end for ever and ever prepareth for us. (aiōnios g166)
18 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)
While we look not on these which are seen, but at those which are unseen. For the seen are of time, but the unseen are of eternity. (aiōnios g166)
