Corinthios Ii 4
1 Ideo habentes administrationem, iuxta quod misericordiam consecuti sumus, non deficimus,
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
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 have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 Quod si etiam opertum est Evangelium nostrum: in iis, qui pereunt, est opertum:
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 in quibus Deus huius saeculi excaecavit mentes infidelium, ut non fulgeat illis illuminatio Evangelii gloriae Christi, qui est imago Dei. (aiōn g165)
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (aiōn g165)
5 Non enim nosmetipsos praedicamus, sed Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum: nos autem servos vestros per Iesum:
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 quoniam Deus, qui dixit de tenebris lucem splendescere, ipse illuxit in cordibus nostris ad illuminationem scientiae claritatis Dei, in facie Christi Iesu.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light 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.
But 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:
[We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; [we are] perplexed, but not in despair;
9 persecutionem patimur, sed non derelinquimur: humiliamur, sed non confundimur 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.
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 Semper enim nos, qui vivimus, in mortem tradimur propter Iesum: ut et vita Iesu manifestetur in carne nostra mortali.
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 Ergo mors in nobis operatur, vita autem in vobis.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 Habentes autem eundem spiritum fidei, sicut scriptum est: Credidi, Propter quod locutus sum: et nos credimus, propter quod et loquimur:
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 scientes quoniam qui suscitavit Iesum, et nos cum Iesu suscitabit, et constituet vobiscum.
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.
15 Omnia enim propter vos: ut gratia abundans, per multos in gratiarum actione, abundet in gloriam Dei.
For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound 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.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.
17 Id enim, quod in praesenti est momentaneum et leve tribulationis nostrae, supra modum in sublimitate aeternum gloriae pondus operatur in nobis, (aiōnios g166)
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 non contemplantibus nobis quae videntur, sed quae non videntur. Quae enim videntur, temporalia sunt: quae autem non videntur, aeterna sunt. (aiōnios g166)
While we look not 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)
