004:001
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

004:002
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.

004:003
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

004:004
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.

004:005
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

004:006
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.

004:007
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

004:008
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

004:009
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

004:010
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.

004:011
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.

004:012
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

004:013
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;

004:014
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

004:015
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

004:016
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

004:017
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

004:018
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.
